The European Commission proposed that member states approve a proposal to end restrictions on Hungarian universities to regain full access to the EU's flagship research programme, Horizon Europe. The Commission stated that the unlock involves €4.2 billion (£3.6 billion) and the reopening of Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe. This proposal follows the landslide victory of Peter Magyar's party in parliamentary elections, ending the rule of Viktor Orbán.
