Mark Ferguson, the chief scientific adviser to the Irish government, is among twelve people tasked by the European Commission with setting out a vision for EU research and innovation.
The members of the high-level group that will propose a vision for the second half of Horizon 2020 and for its successor programme were announced by the Commission today. It had already been announced in September that the group would be chaired by Pascal Lamy, a former EU trade commissioner and World Trade Organization director general and now president emeritus of the Jacques Delors Institute think tank.
The ten other members of the group will include Milena Žic Fuchs, a former Croatian minister of science and now a linguistics researcher at the University of Zagreb, and Martin Brudermüller, chief technology officer at the Germany chemical company BASF SE.
