The European Commission plans to exclude China from half of its €93.5 billion Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. This move includes prohibiting joint work between Chinese entities and European scientists on health-related topics.
A draft of the work programme for 2026-27, which outlines the Horizon Europe calls for the upcoming period, proposes excluding Chinese participation from Clusters 1, 3, and 4. These clusters cover key areas such as health, civil security for society, and digital, industry, and space sectors.
