Marc Lemaître says European Commission will take seriously sector’s demands to reform “extremely complex landscape”
The European Commission’s top research and innovation official has told Research Europe that there is a need for a “very significant simplification” of the EU’s R&I funding landscape.
Marc Lemaître, who has led the Commission’s R&I department since February 2023, said in an interview that his institution had “heard loud and clear stakeholders calling for simplification, and so we will be taking that call very seriously”.
