Country participation in the EU R&I framework programmes : a retrospective on the first three years of Horizon Europe (2021-2023) : monitoring and evaluation report

This report compares country participation in Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020. It finds that the two programmes have similar numbers of applicants, on average, and that the quality of proposals has increased overall and for every country group. The size of each country and of its R&I sector is related to its volume of applicants, participants and grants received from the Framework Programme. The report accounts for these differences, offering a more nuanced insight into participation by country and country group.
