The EU spends a lot of money on research (it paid my wages for 5 years when I worked on ESPRIT projects):

"€53 billion has been made available between 2007 and 2013"

Nice! Thanks for the link.

Horizon 2020 is the new programme "with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020)".
