Inquiry into Horizon 2020
Inquiry into Horizon 2020
The Enterprise and Business Committee undertook a short inquiry into the Horizon 2020 proposals, which were published by the European Commission in November 2011.
The Committee looked at the potential linkages between the Horizon 2020 and the EU Structural Funds proposals, particularly in terms of creating synergies aimed at improving the overall performance by Welsh universities and businesses in EU research programmes.
