European Research & Innovation Office

The European Research & Innovation Office (ERIO) works to keep University College London at the forefront of European collaboration in research & innovation. UCL remained one of the leading participants throughout the European Union's €79 billion "Horizon 2020" funding programme, and will shortly have full access to its €95.5 billion successor, "Horizon Europe". ERIO is a unit within UCL's Research Services department.
