Heading of multiannual financial framework11 - Single Market, Innovation and Digital

The proposal will not increase the total level of expenditure programmed under Heading 1 of the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027. Indeed, the additional Union contribution, including EFTA to the EuroHPC JU will be pooled from the Horizon Europe Programme, the Digital Europe Programme and the Connecting Europe Facility - Digital Programme (CEF – Digital).

This additional contribution will be financed by:

i. an internal redeployment of the current envelope of the Digital Europe Programme,

ii. an internal redeployment of the current envelope of the Horizon Europe Programme,

iii. an internal redeployment of the current envelope of the Connecting Europe Facility – Digital Programme,
