\n

Horizon 2020 <\/a>was chosen as the name to designate what has thus far been known as the\u00a0 \u201cFramework Programme for Research and Development (R+D) \u201d, an European Comission\u00a0(EC) initiative to foster and support European R+D.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Horizon 2020\u00a0budget, objectives, priorities, and strategic strands for the 2014-2020 period are still taking shape, although everything indicates that R+D in health will continue to be one of the EC\u2019s priorities. Nevertheless, whether or not research on affordable and accessible new biomedical products for poverty-related diseases, despite the challenges posed to health around the world, will remain a priority, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Over the last decade, the EC has supported R+D on poverty-related diseases through the Framework Programmes 6 and 7.\u00a0 This support, however, is more symbolic than it is significant, since in represents a meagre proportion of total funding allocated to research.\u00a0The EC\u2019s proposal would translate into a 40 per cent increase of the Community budget allocated to research<\/a> as compared to the current framework programme, and this poses a unique opportunity of the European Union (EU) to take advantage of a greater availability of funds\u00a0to consolidate its political and economic support for this type of\u00a0research. That decision would also be more coherent with the EU role as the world\u2019s top donor of development aid, and in fulfilling what is set forth in the EC Communication on the\u00a0EU\u2019s role in Global Health.<\/a><\/p>\n

In less than two months, the EC will disclose its final thematic priorities proposal for Horizon 2020. As of then and over a two year period, the member states, together with the European Parliament, will have to agree the\u00a0final document.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
