This week, the European Commission set the road to the next long-term budget starting in 2028. Known as the Multiannual Financial Framework, it will support millions of local communities, researchers, and businesses, across European regions.
The Commission is now inviting all Europeans to have their say on the next budget and the policies it should support, ahead of presenting a formal proposal in July 2025. A series of public consultations will remain open for the next 12 weeks. You can find the links to these consultations below.

“The next long-term budget will empower our Union's shared vision for the future. It translates our common priorities into tangible action, which makes a difference for millions of citizens, businesses, regions, and researchers. Therefore, we invite all Europeans to have a say via public consultations, the citizens' panel, or the engagement platform. This is an invitation to shape a modern, ambitious, and reinforced budget. Our challenges are common objectives as well: together, we are more powerful”.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission
