The European Union’s multiannual Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation, first introduced in 1984, are the most important and multifaceted instruments in the European Research Area. With the Framework Programmes, the European Commission aims to support transnational cooperation in Europe by fostering excellent research and innovation projects and at the same time to build a competitive economy and contribute to sustainable development. Each Framework Programme for Research and Innovation has been an evolution of the previous one. In Horizon Europe, now the ninth programme, for example, among the measures newly introduced are the EU Missions and the European Innovation Council (EIC).
