On 27 November at an informal video conference, Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek informed her EU counterparts about the status of planned legislative acts, including the EU’s "Horizon Europe" programme that is to begin in 2021. The predecessor, "Horizon 2020" was the world’s largest programme so far to promote research and innovation. "Horizon Europe" is to be bigger still. The new budget earmarks 80.9 billion euros for the programme.
