The future of European research funding

Doubling the budget of FP9, in comparison to Horizon 2020, is necessary simply to maintain the attractiveness and improve the efficiency of this EU flagship. EUA has shown that considerable amounts of tax payers’ money is wasted in the preparation of excellent, yet discarded proposals, due to lack of funds available at EU level.

Concretely the discussion touched upon examples such as the currently debated reform of the EU copyright directive where open access principles are at stake, the EU blue card, an instrument to facilitate mobility of highly skilled labour or the new skills agenda, including measures to foster digital skills provision, an important means to foster open minds.

The same applies to openness in the sense of the free flow of talents which also bears the danger of brain drain, further disadvantaging certain regions and creating knowledge deserts. The importance of investment, both in research and education infrastructure, was mentioned in this connection. More...
