The Horizon Europe Strategic Orientations 2025–2027 set the framework for EU research and innovation investments with a focus on transformative impact across society, environment and competitiveness. The plan identifies three key priorities for the programme’s final years: the green transition, the digital transition and the development of a more resilient, competitive, inclusive and democratic Europe. These strategic orientations guide Horizon Europe funding decisions, support tackling global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and demographic change, and align research and innovation actions with broader EU policy objectives.
This thematic focus sharpens the ambition of Horizon Europe to deliver societal impact through collaborative research and innovation, targeting solutions that underpin the European Green Deal, digital transformation, socio-economic resilience and inclusive growth.
