Research and innovation combined with startups... Guess we won't be needing that flopped SME envoy after all! Also no commissioner with education in their title. Interesting choice.

Horizon Europe has a funding rate of 21% (!!!) and the Council argues that it should be cut because of 'absorption' issues?? Make it make sense. Reporting by moi -->

Full agreement with @Thomas_E_Jorgen @euatweets and @LERU_SG @LERUnews that we need a single Commissioner for research, innovation, and higher education - and that this must not be swallowed up in an even bigger portfolio. See our comments @ResearchProfes👉bit.ly/3XwfCz6

Coming into this wide-ranging role with access to budgets others covet, with only one year left, was a tough gig for @Ili_Ivanova (+would have been for anyone). She focused on key priorities+continuity, +the Commission got a lot done under her stewardship. See my comments 👉bit.ly/3ANfjal

The UN #Summitofthefuture will definitely be a historic event and the proposed documents on multilateralism purport to address the world's most pressing challenges. It begs the question, who is benefitting from fossil fuels being conveniently left out of the conversation?

Delighted to welcome @Sophie_atRPN to our @ResProfNews team today as senior journalist 🎉 Give her a follow for UK and EU research policy news, along with @frances_jones00 (UK/EU) and @Snail_Nina (EU)

These shocking maps from @EU_Eurostat show the inverse distribution of @HorizonEU vs #CohesionPolicy funding. The contrast between East and West Germany is STARK. Underdeveloped regions are being left behind in the race for 'excellent research'

Polish national R&D funder @NCBR_pl has awarded €400mn for onshore and offshore wind and geothermal energy, exciting for a country so heavily dominated by coal !! gov.pl/web/ncbr/ncbr-…

EU member state spending on R&D is up by 5% ! Happy to see Denmark in second place for most money spent per person on R&D following Luxembourg. Curiously Finland, Sweden saw some of the lowest increases in the past decades -> researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-europe…

Germany pushes for a post-Brexit EU-UK deal that would entail re-association to @EUErasmusPlus, celebrated amongst many by Germany's national association of student's unions @fzs_ev researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-europe…

Exciting times with two new MEP's chairing committees. Nela Riehl from the Greens for education and @bbudka from EPP for research. Looking forward to what they have in store for us, esp wrt. negotiations on #FP10

🎙️“In the next years, it will be important to repeat that we need a solid knowledge basis to make all the innovations for #greentech and #biotech that featured in (Ursula von der Leyen's) speech,” said @Thomas_E_Jorgen to @Snail_Nina.

Will the Hungarian presidency of the Council of the EU ‘be used for political games’ or be ‘the neutral dealmaker as it should’? Read about @LERU_SG Prof. Kurt Deketelaere’s concerns. 👉 leru.org/news/in-the-me… @HU24EU @EUCouncil #HU24EU

The salary of a PhD student in many European countries is now higher than the typical starting salary of a UK lecturer, with a postdoc in Europe often surpassing a UK lecturer salary. Meanwhile, some top UK depts now require a published monograph for entry-level positions (1/2)
