Some university lobby groups have come out against the EU funding dual-use research, saying Horizon Europe and its successor, FP10 should remain exclusively civilian, while others have responded to an EU consultation on the subject by asking policymakers for more clarity on their proposal.
Horizon Europe is well underway, but the world of European R&D policy goes well beyond the confines of the €95.5 billion R&D programme. EU climate, digital, agriculture and regional policies all have significant research and innovation components.
