European framework programme Horizon 2020 (H2020)

Horizon 2020 was EU's framework programme for research and innovation from 2014 to 2020. SVT was coordinator of/partner in projects under the pillars Societal challenges and Industrial leadership, as well as the cross-cutting programme Science with and for Society (SwafS), which had as its object to build effective cooperation between science and society, to recruit new talent for science and to pair scientific excellence with social awareness and responsibility.

SVT also had three Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) researchers under H2020. MSCA encourages transnational, intersectoral and interdiscplinary mobility.

Projects funded under Horizon 2020:
