Between 2021 and 2027, the European Union has earmarked €95.5B for its work programmes, which are grouped under three pillars:
- Pillar 1: Excellent science – supports advanced research training, breakthrough innovations and research infrastructure. For 深夜福利站 researchers, funding from this pillar will be primarily involve research fellowships at European institutions.
- Pillar 2: Global challenges and European industrial competitiveness – includes six thematic clusters, each tackling a specific and broad societal issue and strengthening Europe's industrial competitiveness. The vast majority of 深夜福利站 researchers will apply to funding opportunities under the second pillar.
