EUA sounds alarm over member states’ stance on FP10 budget

European University Association says national position on EU’s next R&I programme “does not bode well”

The European University Association is anxious about the likely budget for the EU’s next research and innovation programme, saying it is a bad sign that a formal opinion from national representatives did not recommend a specific figure.

On 10 July, the EUA published a response to the opinion on Framework Programme 10 that was recently set out by the European Research and Innovation Area Committee, a body that advises the EU on R&I policy and is itself composed of representatives from the EU member states and the European Commission.
