EARTO, the European Association of Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs), along with its industrial and research partners, including EOS, has published its 2nd Joint Declaration to boost Europe's competitiveness as key priority for FP9.
Together, the 25 signatories of this Joint Declaration call on the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union to develop the next EU Research & Innovation Framework Programme (FP9) with an appropriate design and budget, at the level of the ambitions of the Renewed EU Industrial Policy Strategy.
In line with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, FP9 should have the objective of strengthening not only Europe's scientific basis, but also its technological basis, encouraging the development of a competitive European RD&I ecosystem. This will be paramount to position Europe as a global industrial leader and to safeguard our growth and employment.
