110 Associations present joint statement on FP10
110 European associations (including e.g. BusinessEurope and EARTO) have published a joint statement on the next European Framework Programme in which they call for a significant budget increase and for a strong involvement of industry. The focus on competitiveness should be reinforced in Pillar II, and should similarly be a key driver for activities in Pillar I and Pillar III, according to the paper. In the association`s views, Pillar II would be the only truly collaborative part of the FP today, breaking silos to promote the flow of knowledge between and within the private and public sectors as well as between basic and applied research.
