But as Horizon Europe opens up to the world, some European researchers worry they will miss out
Under a new deal, South Korean scientists will be able to apply for Horizon Europe grants on an equal footing with EU researchers.The European Commission announced today that South Korea will join Horizon Europe, as the 7-year, €95.5 billion research funding program continues to expand far beyond the continent.
Researchers, institutions, and businesses in associated countries can apply for grants from the €53.5 billion pot of “Pillar 2” funding, which supports research into global challenges in the areas of health, climate change, energy, and industrial competitiveness. In return, associate countries contribute to the European Horizon budget on an adjusted scale, depending on how many grants their researchers win.
The EU’s established scientific heavyweights “hoard most of the funding from Horizon Europe,” says Marta Wróblewska, a higher education scholar at the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw, Poland. Wróblewska agrees that including countries like New Zealand and South Korea risks making it even harder for European scientists from less scientifically advanced nations. But there are also geopolitical considerations.
