THIENGO, Lara Carlette  and  BIANCHETTI, Lucídio. The European Union Horizon 2020 program and the world class university perspective: approaches and trends. Roteiro [online]. 2020, vol.45, e20066.  Epub Apr 28, 2020. ISSN 2177-6059.  https://doi.org/10.18593/r.v45i0.20066.

In this article we analyze the Horizon 2020 Program - Framework Program for Research and Innovation - launched by the European Commission in 2014, as part of the Europe 2020 Strategy. The objective is to demonstrate how this Program is structured/fanned by elements of the conception of World Class University that is being disseminated by International Organizations, especially the World Bank, Think-Thanks, experts and academic rankings. For this, in theoretical-methodological terms, we use the bibliographical survey and the documentary analysis, seeking to understand the totality of the relations / phenomena, as well as the contradictions, influences, power relations and projects in dispute that cross them. For the time being, we understand that H2020 “crowns” the long process of relativization of a particular European university, establishing/reinforcing a university concept that meets the characteristics of the model of excellence or world class.

Keywords : World Class University; Horizon 2020; European University..
