Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Every €1 the EU invests in research can yield up to €11 in growth by 2045.

With €43 billion from Horizon Europe, we’ve backed 15,000+ projects – from antibiotics to the transition.

This year we’ll put in over €7.3 billion to meet Europe’s challenges.

For everyone to benefit ↓

Now, it's time to up the ante.

We are committed to enshrining scientific freedom in EU law, creating a 7-year ‘super grant’ to attract top researchers, and expanding support for the most promising scientists.

Today we celebrate 25 years of the EU’s motto ‘United in Diversity’.

More than words - it’s the heart of Europe. 🇪🇺
A group of people dressed in coordinated outfits are gathered in front of the Berlaymont building of the European Commission in Brussels. They are tossing various European national flags into the air in celebration. A large yellow sign in the centre reads "UNITED IN DIVERSITY," echoing the European Union's motto. Spectators watch the vibrant and festive scene from the background.

Vaccines have granted families in wealthy countries the luxury of forgetting what measles, polio, rubella, and other preventable diseases are like.

We're looking at how many millions of lives vaccines have saved.

Read the full story: https://go.nature.com/4jqOqKn
A graph showing reported measles cases in the United States. The line shows that there were regularly 400-600,000 cases each year until 1963, when the measles vaccine was licensed, at which point cases plummet. In 2000, the elimination of measles was declared.

European and Swiss research and education will benefit from a wider pool of talents and scientific excellence.

We've set in motion the agreement for Switzerland’s association to Horizon Europe, Euratom Research and Training, ITER/F4E, Digital Europe, Erasmus+, and EU4Health.

RFK Jr. misleads, deceives or simply lies when he claims the measles vaccine "routinely" causes deaths. IT DOES NOT.

Measles is a dangerous disease. Deaths are rar-ish, but they do happen. The measles vaccine is highly effective and safe.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy.
