For several decades, the EU Commission has been supporting research and innovation in Europe, implemented by means of funding programmes “Horizon 2020” (2014–2020) and the successor programme “Horizon Europe” (2021–2027). A series of evaluation studies will now determine how well the funding programmes are working and where there may be room for improvement. Both the Horizon 2020 programme (completed in 2020) and Horizon Europe, scheduled to run until 2027, will be examined. The “Resilient Europe” study is one of these evaluation studies and runs in parallel with the “Innovative Europe” study, which Prognos is also involved in.
In the first 13-month phase, the Horizon 2020 programme pillars Societal Challenge 1 (health, demographic change and wellbeing), Societal Challenge 6 (Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective societies), Social Challenge 7 (secure societies - protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens) as well as various public-public and public-private partnerships are considered.
In the second phase of the project, Horizon Europe’s clusters of health, culture, creativity and inclusion, civil security and health-related partnerships will come under the microscope.
Prognos is responsible for the evaluation of the Active and Assisted Living (AAL) Partnership on behalf of the Public Policy and Management Institute (PPMI) in phase 1, including two integrated case studies. In addition, Prognos is conducting three further case studies on the topics of the International Medicines Initiative, International Programme-Level Cooperation, and Migration. The tasks for phase 2 have yet to be defined.
The project team makes use of the following methods to evaluate the programmes:
The evaluation project is planned from December 2021 to February 2024.

Cluster organisations have a significant positive influence on the green and digital transformation. This is a key finding of the Cluster Panorama Report 2024, which Prognos compiled for the European Commission.
As part of the Foresight on Demand consultancy contract, the European Commission is provided with future-orientated knowledge. Prognos supports the expert consortium.
Prognos supports the European Commission’s General Commission for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) in the strategic development of EU research and innovation policy.
Growth in the German economy benefits the whole of Europe. Our study for the vbw shows that this is due to the size of the economy and its strong foreign trade networks.
The study for the European Commission examines the impact of digitalisation on the employment situation in the individual member states as well as on the EU economy as a whole.
The European Cluster Conference is a key element of cluster collaboration. It focuses on political priorities, the exchange of best practices and practical contacts across a comprehensive EU-wide network.
Prognos and partners are developing conclusions for the further development of the European structural funds after 2027 by integrating relevant stakeholders.
What needs to happen for Europe to survive in global competition? We analysed this at the “12 Minutes Europe – Meeting Global Challenges” event organised by the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber.
The Harnessing Talent Platform supports selected regions within the EU that are particularly affected by demographic change and the brain drain. The technical support that Prognos is providing in some regions has now been launched with kick-off meetings.
For over 15 years now Prognos has been bringing together the actors concerned by the expansion of the electricity grid and facilitating dialogue between them – from the Danish to the Swiss bor-der.
Prognos is one of the oldest economic research centres in Europe. Founded at the University of Basel, Prognos experts have been conducting research for a wide range of clients from the public and private sectors since 1959 – politically independent, scientifically sound.
