Where is the 'global' in the European Union's Health Research and Innovation Agenda?

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Global Health has not featured as prominently in the
                European Union (EU) research agenda in recent years as it did in
                the first decade of the new millennium, and participation of
                low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) in EU health
                research has declined substantially. The Horizon Europe Research
                and Innovation Framework adopted by the European Parliament in
                April 2019 for the period 2021-2027 will serve as an important
                funding instrument for health research, yet the proposed health
                research budget to be finalised towards the end of 2019 was
                reduced from 10% in the current framework, Horizon 2020, to 8%
                in Horizon Europe. Our analysis takes the evolvement of Horizon
                Europe from the initial framework of June 2018 to the framework
                agreed on in April 2019 into account. It shows that despite some
                improvements in terms of Global Health and reference to the
                Sustainable Development Goals, European industrial
                competitiveness continues to play a paramount role, with Global
                Health research needs and relevant health research for LMICs
                being only partially addressed. We argue that the globally
                interconnected nature of health and the transdisciplinary nature
                of health research need to be fully taken into account and acted
                on in the new European Research and Innovation Framework. A
                facilitated global research collaboration through Horizon Europe
                could ensure that Global Health innovations and solutions
                benefit all parts of the world including EU countries.
