YERUN believes that Europe has the potential to play a leading role in solving and anticipating global challenges and opportunities. To fulfil this ambition, it is crucial to build an FP9 that, even more so than its predecessors, addresses the following aspects:
- Sustainable funding to match Europe’s ambition in research and innovation
- Engage society in the creation of knowledge and innovation
- Promote and reward a full implementation of Open Science
- Recognise a more comprehensive definition of impact
- Enhance support for early career researchers
- Revise submission and evaluation processes to improve efficiency, transparency, fairness and impact
Professor Tom van Veen is the Chair of the YERUN Working Group on EU Policy that developed this position paper.
