‘Significant underfunding’ threatens EU research and must be addressed by next budget, says committee
The European Parliament Committee on Budgets has called for EU R&D funding to be increased next year, so that more excellent research can be funded and to help the bloc tackle the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change.
“EU-funded research should be increased, be it in relation to Covid-19 to develop vaccines and treatments or with regard to the EU’s climate goals,” said a press release for the committee.
