Research – which way forward for Europe

Europe is faced with intensifying global competition and is reinforcing its strategy accordingly to assert the continent's scientific excellence as a lever for power and competitiveness. The European Union possesses major assets. The ERC is a bastion of excellence as ever, Horizon Europe's collaborative projects attract the best partners worldwide and structure research and the European Research Area could become a real single market for knowledge. The CNRS is a key core stakeholder as regards such issues. The new series 'Research: which way forward for Europe?' analyzes research's levers, flaws and future prospects.
