He shares his worry about the absence of a plan for #FP10 in the @EU_Commission's #CompetitivenessCompass.

Had an insightful exchange with Professors Kurt Deketelaere, Linda Doyle, and Sari Lindblom from @LERUnews. Topics discussed: a stronger FP10 with a dedicated budget, simplification, clear priorities. Synergies across programs; attracting talent from abroad, including the US.

Very constructive meeting today with @LERUnews – League of European Research Universities. We discussed ways to make #UnionofSkills a true asset for all and highlighted the key role of higher education in developing essential life skills.

European Universities Alliances and a European Degree are key to shaping a 🇪🇺 model of competitiveness rooted in strong values and identity.

👏🏼 Congratulations to Jan Haarhuis on an outstanding career!

Today, Jan’s retirement will be celebrated at @UniUtrecht during a farewell symposium. LERU wishes to thank Jan for his pivotal contributions to educational innovation and renewal, and for almost a decade of exceptional leadership as Chair of the LERU Digital Education Policy Group.

LERU wishes you all the best in your well-deserved retirement!

[Kurt Deketelaere @LERU_SG]

“Swiss research organisations have urged the national government not to make substantial planned cuts to research, innovation and education funding, warning they would result in researcher posts and projects going unfunded, among other “serious consequences”.”

🤝 🇪🇺 LERU and other R&I associations launched a joint statement today, reminding the @EU_Commission what should be done for R&I at EU level. We need:
🔸 A robust and dedicated #FP10
🔸 A substantially increased R&I budget
🔸 Simplifying for beneficiaries and ensuring an attractive programme

"Although the Competitiveness Compass states that Europe must remain home to cutting-edge scientific research and innovation, there is good reason to be concerned for basic research", writes @LERU_SG

At least the leading EP fractions are clear : a standalone FP10 is key.
Thanks to Christian Ehler and Lina Gálvez Muñoz !
Unfortunately but not unexpected : "The Commission did not respond to a request for comment from Research Professional News."
