Ms. Kochańska together with the experts from other EU Member States will advise the European Commission on the focus area 'Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials'.

Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe's global competitiveness. Running from 2014 to 2020 with an €80 billion budget, the EU’s new programme for research and innovation is part of the drive to create new growth and jobs in Europe.

Horizon 2020 provides major simplification through a single set of rules.
