Horizon 2020 is the new EU funding programme for research and innovation running from 2014 to 2020 with a €80 billion budget. The first calls for proposals for Horizon 2020 were published on 11 December 2013. Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world. In all of the relevant parts of Horizon 2020, topics have been flagged as being particularly suitable for international cooperation. In these cases, the area selected for cooperation is specified upfront and consortia are encouraged to include third country partners (in many cases particular countries or regions are targeted) in their consortia.

Albert EinsteinCreative thinking is not a talent, it is a skill that can be learnt. It empowers people by adding strength to their natural abilities which improves teamwork, productivity and where appropriate profits.
Edward de BonoWe have to understand that the world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is more important than the eye… The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
