Students, early-career researchers and university staff are increasingly affected by housing shortages and rising rents across Europe.
For this reason, EUA has responded to the @ec.europa.eu's public consultation on the European Affordable Housing Plan

Why must #HorizonEU keep its independent identity?
It boosts research excellence & capacity, fosters mobility, international and cross-sectoral cooperation and drives breakthrough innovation💡
The new #EUCompetFund should complement, not absorb it.

Text "The programme's fundamentals: Horizon Europe remains a stand-alone programme. Unclear boundaries with the European Competitiveness Fund threaten Horizon's independence and integrity. Budget proposal points in the right direction, but falls short of what is really needed. Approach to dual-use research remains unclear."

Due to the current dominance of metric-based approaches to assessing academic staff, false incentives have proliferated. In her #EUAExpertVoices article, Sybille Hinze (#BerlinUAlliance) explains why, and looks for a better approach.
