'Europe is falling behind' in publications+innovation. Clear message by high-level group on #FP10 that EU must fund the full spectrum of R&I, focus on excellence, +trigger substantially ⬆️investment at EU + national levels. I could not agree more: this is critical for🇪🇺catch-up

'Let's build on the things that work, let's shut down the things that don't work' - Bold ideas by the high-level group on FP10 that show: we do not need an undefined, ill-considered 'Competitiveness Fund' to ensure bold reforms in R&I!

A hugely important commitment by Commissioner-designate Zarahieva for #FP10 in her written response for European Parliament hearings. In its hearings ITRE Committee Press must insist that FP10 is simplified+harnessed not to satisfy bureaucratic convenience, but to support the best

Full support to Commissioner-designate Zarahieva's commitment to the autonomy of European Research Council (ERC): In her responses to European Parliament she clearly recognises the importance of fundamental and frontier research, and scientific excellence, as essential to #FP10.

'It's about belonging' - Luciana Vacarro swissuniversities HES-SO emphasising the urgency of🇨🇭association to #HorizonEurope. Indeed: negotiations need a speedy and successful conclusion! Fantastic to join this event with Silvia Gomez Sophia Karner @Thomas_E_Jorgen Jurgen Rienks

Fantastic Ursula von der Leyen has accepted key recommendations of the Draghi and Letta Reports on putting research+innovation at the core of Europe's future. The Heitor report articulates insightfully how this should be done: European Commission EU Budget must listen carefully!

Today, 19/11, marks exactly 1000 days since the beginning of Russia's aggressions against Ukraine. Therefore, the @europeanparliament and its young ambassadors would like to take the time to reiterate their support for Ukraine and all impacted students. #ForAsLongAsItTakes

FP10 must 'contribute to EU priorities, but on the terms of science+innovation rather than on the terms of policy-makers'! Important intervention by ITRE Committee Press on the next Framework Programme for Research+Innovation. See my reflections on LinkedIn👉bit.ly/40WItiq

"We need urgent answers from the Commission on its plans. FP10 cannot work without those for whom it is intended – those at the front line of research." We've lost too much time already. Complete alignment with Kurt Deketelaere Times Higher Education 👉bit.ly/417tF0i @EZaharievaMFA

Christmas has come early - not simply to our researchers recognised by European Research Council (ERC) - but to our societies that will benefit from researchers addressing so many critical questions 🎄

I could not agree more: Fantastic that the full text is available, this is a seminal document and I welcome the opportunity to discuss and crystallise our ideas for FP10

Good! 👉bit.ly/408sziZ

This is welcome news - but why the secrecy? who in the Commission is assuring us (and with what authority) that the ERC's autonomy will be respected by the Commission? Given the (hopefully unnecessary) concerns caused, we need an assurance from the top! Ursula von der Leyen Ekaterina Zaharieva

We need the Competitiveness Compass to stay true to #Draghis vision: to strengthen breakthrough research and innovation - for 🇪🇺to catch up, we need both!

Time for the European Commission leadership to listen: not just to the R&I community, but also to the clear voices of European Parliament and member states EU Council in support of a self-standing, excellence-based FP10. See my opinion piece in Times Higher Education 👉bit.ly/43YwDpp
