40 years of success stories. 40 years of supporting research. This year we are celebrating 40 years of 🇪🇺 science and innovation programmes. 🔭 Over the years, the EU has invested about €283 billion in research. 🏆More than 30 Nobel Prizes have been won by EU-funded researchers. 👩‍🔬 More than 120,000 grants have been provided to about 75,000 beneficiaries. Now, what’s next? The EU's ambitious Horizon Europe programme will continue to support research and innovation with a budget of €93.5 billion until 2027. It will focus on tackling climate change, achieving sustainable development goals and boosting the EU’s competitiveness. For a greener, fairer and more competitive 🇪🇺 Europe. #EU40YearsRI #EUfunded #EUMissions

The EU bridges inequalities with sound solidarity. Cohesion Policy helps our Union move forward together, ensuring no one is left behind. It supports projects that reduce social and economic disparities across the EU. One way to achieve this is by investing in infrastructure and transport. For example, it helped:🚆 connect 🇮🇹 🇸🇮 🇭🇷 with a new Cross-Border Train Line; 🇬🇷 build the new metro network in Thessaloniki counting 13 stations; 🇷🇴 modernise the tram lines in Timișoara. A more cohesive Union is a stronger Union. #EUinmyregion

What does EU ⚡ energy policy mean to #EUcitizens?💶 affordability🔬 innovation🌱 climate neutrality

The latest Eurobarometer shows that almost 8 out of 10 Europeans agree that EU climate targets will spur new jobs and attract investments in the clean energy sector. The survey also reports that almost 7 out of 10 Europeans believe EU policies will reduce dependence on energy imports. Looking ahead: ➡️ 77% say the EU should have a stronger role in coordinating energy matters. ➡️ 69% think our policies will ensure reduced energy bills for households and businesses ➡️ 53% believe the EU should encourage its countries to fight energy poverty. These findings are well reflected in the ambition of the new Commission for 2024-2029, as set out in President von der Leyen’s Political Guidelines.
