The European Parliament has invited Iran to appoint a national coordinator for Horizon 2020, among a range of measures intended to improve relations.

The resolution follows a nuclear agreement reached in July 2015 between Iran, the EU, China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK and the United States, under which Iran agreed to limit its stockpiles and enrichment of uranium.
