European research projects H2020
The Horizon 2020 programme offers various sources of funding within the European Union for research and Innovation focused on three main priorities : excellent science, industrial leadership and societal challenges. The Paris Observatory largely contributes to the Horizon 2020 programme as a coordinator or a partner to a number of projects based on different sources of funding.
