The European Commission has published its draft budget for 2023 and submitted it to the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers for a vote.
 
For Horizon Europe, the Commission proposes a budget of EUR 12.3 billion for 2023, which will be complemented from the European recovery plan 'NextGenerationEU' with EUR 1.8 billion.

The Commission's proposal 'Chips for Europe' foresees an investment in R&I activities of up to EUR 3.3 billion in total. In 2023, EUR 708 million will be allocated from Horizon Europe, the Connecting Europe Facility and the Digital Europe Programme
