The new Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, known as FP10, was published following the presentation of the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the 2028-2034 programming period on 16 July 2025. The total budget of the MFF is expected to be EUR 2 trillion.
The EC proposed that the rules in the MFF be simplified and harmonised, and that easier transfers of funds between individual areas be possible. Competitiveness will become the flagship - a new Competitiveness Fund will be created.
Funding will also be strengthened in the areas of defence, security, energy, climate protection, support for innovation, start-ups and scale-ups.
The FP10 budget is proposed at EUR 175 billion and the Competitiveness Fund at EUR 410 billion.
