Funding Opportunities for Marine Projects
Horizon 2020 (EU)
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with
nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) –
in addition to the private investment that this money will attract.
It promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas
from the lab to the market.
