The European Commission has opened a survey to gather input on the future EU budget, which will shape research and innovation in Europe. With the changing geopolitical landscape, it is crucial that researchers’ voices are heard to ensure our needs are met. We urge all researchers in our organization to participate in the survey.

Context and Importance

The new geopolitical situation has shifted priorities and funding within the EU. The recent budget changes have created uncertainty around future research funding, with potential impacts on the upcoming Framework Programme 10 (FP10). There is a possibility that FP10 may be included in a broader Competitiveness Fund, aimed at boosting innovation, productivity, and economic growth. However, this could reduce the focus on fundamental research and create conflicts between short-term economic goals and long-term scientific advancements.

Why Your Participation Matters

By participating in the survey, you can help ensure that the new framework programmes address the needs of the research community, support groundbreaking science, and foster international collaboration. The survey results will influence key decisions on funding priorities, programme structures, and resource allocation.
