Mario Draghi on the ⁦European Research Council (ERC)⁩. Perfect summary 👏👏 ! ⁦LERU⁩

Still digesting the landmark #Draghireport, but great to see the emphasis on R&I. Very happy with proposal to double support to ground-breaking fundamental research via the European Research Council! And the stance on preserving the ERC's independence. commission.europa.eu/topics/strengt…

Mario Draghi’s report on EU competitiveness calls for a doubling of the ERC budget stating that the ERC is ‘essential to the competitiveness of European science’

Exciting proposals for science in Draghi report on EU competitiveness: Doubling of ERC budget, plus ‘ERC for Institutions’ for institutes to build ‘critical mass of talent’ and ‘EU Chair’ posts for top researchers to help institutions and ‘act as a magnet for top talent’.

The Draghi report on EU competitiveness has good news for science funding in the EU. commission.europa.eu/document/downl…
