Science Europe response to the Call for Evidence on a European Innovation Act
Science Europe's recommendations on the European Innovation Act emphasise support for excellent research, breakthrough innovation, and strong alignment with the upcoming ERA Act. The Act should maintain Horizon Europe’s autonomy for R&I-focused projects, foster talent circulation, strengthen research-industry collaboration, and enhance access to Research and Technology Infrastructures.
Unlocking the Fifth Freedom: Science Europe Response to the Call for Evidence on the ERA Act
Science Europe has submitted its response to the European Commission’s Call for Evidence on the upcoming European Research Area (ERA) Act. The ERA Act represents a major opportunity to create a true single market for research and innovation – often referred to as the “fifth freedom” – by strengthening research excellence, shared values, and cross-border collaboration.
A Reliable Financial Framework and a Robust R&I Programme for Europe’s Scientific Leadership
Science Europe's initial response to the European Commission's proposals for the next EU budget and new Horizon Europe, including a set of recommendations. While the proposals provide a significant budget increase and the Framework Programme remains self-standing, further clarification on its relation to the Competitiveness Fund is needed.
A Vision & Framework for Research Cultures
Science Europe presents ‘A Vision and Framework for Research Cultures’. It synthesises our recent work across numerous policy topics focusing them on the shared objective of R&I systems to advance knowledge and enable the quality and impact of research.
