The University of Oviedo, through the Vice-Rectorate for Research, aims to actively promote the participation of its researchers in European research projects, with special interest in projects of the Horizon Europe programme.

Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) framework programme for research and innovation (R&I) for the period 2021-2027. This programme, like its predecessor Horizon 2020, is the key instrument for implementing EU R&D&I policies. Its overall objective is to achieve a scientific, technological, economic, and societal impact of EU investments in R&I, thereby strengthening its scientific and technological bases and fostering the competitiveness of all Member States.
