Aurora Position Paper on the future of European Union programmes for R&I
Cohesion, integration, and the creation of opportunities in EU research and innovation
Aurora’s eleven recommendations
In view of the public consultation set out by the European Commission on Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe and beyond, the Aurora Universities Network presents eleven improvements for the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2025-2027, while at the same time looking towards the next research framework programme. Although this position paper has a variety of propositions, key recommendations centre around the need for more cohesion and integration between EU policies, programmes, and funding; the structural integration of stakeholder and citizen engagement; and the possibilities for global collaboration on cross-border issues.
