EU strategy: evaluation and measures for enhancing the success rate

Thanks to its EU strategy, the ZHAW has defined the aims for participation in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. The Research & Development unit evaluated the success of the strategy in 2020.

The EU strategy has significantly increased the ability of Schools, institutes and research groups to participate in projects in the EU research and innovation framework programme Horizon 2020. A large number of project proposals were submitted, of which 41 major projects were funded by Horizon 2020. ZHAW researchers were significantly involved in these projects. More than half of these projects were submitted in 2019 and 2020, indicating that the strategy is a strongly rising success.

These measures will apply from 2021 to 2024.
