Take missions out of FP10, university association urges EU

Young European Research Universities Network also calls for “societal readiness levels” in funding calls

The EU’s research and innovation-based ‘missions’ should be moved outside the bloc’s R&I funding programme due to their reliance on other funding sources and delivery needs, a university association has suggested.

The Young European Research Universities Network made the recommendation in its contribution to the development of a report on the EU R&I programme by a group of independent experts led by Manuel Heitor, former science minister of Portugal.
