‘Deepened’ ERA would see states pool more policymaking and resources, going beyond voluntary coordination
EU countries could be asked to sign up to a “pact for research and innovation”, according to a draft European Commission plan to reform the bloc’s European Research Area initiative for knowledge and researcher circulation.
The pact, included in a mid-June draft of a Commission communication on the ERA expected in July-September, and seen by Research Professional News, would see countries recommit to the values and principles developed over the ERA’s 20-year lifespan, with the Commission due to add some as-yet unnamed principles.
