Dramatisch hoe een fantastisch universitair systeem keihard wordt aangepakt en op de helling wordt gezet. Ongezien. Kortzichtig. En het sijpelt al door in Vlaanderen. Horresco referens. LERU

Always good to hear support from high quarters!

Looking forward to the legal expert group ⁦EUScience&Innovation🇪🇺⁩ no doubt is going to set up to draft the European Research Area Act and the European Innovation Act 😉 ! ⁦LERU⁩

Today at the ERA conference '#EUResearchArea: Fostering Greater Integration. Advancing Competitiveness' or maybe better said: Advancing Collaboration through the implementation of the 5th freedom!! Anna Panagopoulou MarcLemaitreEU YERUN

Today Silvia Gomez, YERUN Secretary General, shared valuable insights during the ERA Conference! She emphasised the importance of collaboration across Europe’s diverse #research and #innovation systems, noting that “the strength of #Europe lays in collaboration, not competition.”

Let specialised lawyers draft these 2 acts (or 1 integrated R&I act ?) and submit those drafts to a public consultation so that all actors/stakeholders can react. Asap, so that consultation, discussion and approval should not happen in a rush. LERU Silvia Gomez Dr Mattias Björnmalm

Delighted to have moderated a session on AI in Science in the World at #ERAConference2024. Key takeaways: 🌍 Global collaboration is vital 🚀 AI is pivotal for scientific breakthroughs 🇪🇺 We must invest in AI applications to stay competitive 👉europa.eu/!HmHnph

“A high level of commitment from MS” ? Look at how universities and other R&I systems in several member states are presently tackled, eg The Netherlands. Don’t count on their voluntary support. Draft and adopt an R&I Act. Asap. LERU

We're celebrating 40 years of EU R&I, starting with the 1984 Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. To mark this milestone, we've compiled 40 stories showcasing the benefits of #EUfunded research: europa.eu/!f9xWgt #EU40YearsRI

.Jan Palmowski : “Zaharieva will lead on the next EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10)” - do you have another version of the mission letter, Jan 😉 ? No mentioning of a next FP in my version … should worry all of us.

👇 spot on Alberto Alberto Alemanno ! LERU

Looking forward to the end of this 😂👇

Onderschat Ursula nooit 😁👇 !

Getting ready for my FP10 podcast with ⁦Charlotte van Velthoven-Geerdink⁩ ! FP revolution is coming … no evolution. Do we see the end of the FP for R&I as we knew it for decades ? ⁦Clarification by ⁦EUScience&Innovation🇪🇺⁩ needed, ⁦MarcLemaitreEU⁩. ⁦LERU⁩ ⁦Craig Nicholson⁩

Are we witnessing the end of the EU FP for R&I at the moment that the 40Y anniversary of the FP is launched ? A new competitiveness program absorbing the present R&I framework program 🤔 ? ⁦EUScience&Innovation🇪🇺⁩ ⁦MarcLemaitreEU⁩ ⁦Iliana Ivanova⁩ ⁦⁦LERU⁩

The European R&I community has to wake up 👇 ! See my FP10 reflections 👇. Will FP10 = ERC + ECF + EIC ? Tranparency needed from EUScience&Innovation🇪🇺 ! LERU

Over 55 million people worldwide are affected by dementia. On #WorldAlzheimersDay, learn about the pioneering research of Patrik Verstreken VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research. Funded by an ERC grant, Verstreken Lab is researching how to reverse human neurodegeneration, by studying hibernating hamsters.

Looking forward to be at the Academy of Music ⁦univerzalj⁩ on Monday, upon the invitation of rector ⁦Gregor⁩, for the ⁦LERU⁩ - ⁦CE7⁩ seminar on research security !
