Policy Brief summarises Western Balkans' recommendations for FP10

The POLICY ANSWERS project has published a policy brief aiming at contributing to the discussion on FP10 with recommendations from the Western Balkans (WB). The input on possible changes and new ideas to improve the effectiveness of the coming Framework Programme were gathered through desk research, a survey, and key informant interviews. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia are all associated to the current Framework Programme, and most of them have been already associated to previous FPs. They are potential future members of the EU and already actively integrate their research and innovation (R&I) systems into the European ones.

This Policy Brief contains the recommendations highlighted in research conducted in the WB region during the first half of 2024. It provides a regional point of view on designing and improving the FP overall.
