EU-LIFE, @coimbragroup.bsky.social, @yerunnetwork.bsky.social & many EU research organisations urge EU to keep #MSCA 's bottom-up approach.

MSCA’s success lies in its openness to all fields & topics. Thematic restrictions would stifle innovation & limit researchers' opportunities.

#ResearchMatters! Please enforce our call for:
💡Increased funding for research and development, reaching over 3% of GDP
💡Doubling the budget for the EU’s next research programme, FP10, and protecting that budget by ring-fencing it.
📢 Help shape the future of EU funding!

The European Commission wants your input on the next EU long-term budget beyond 2027. This is your chance to influence how EU funds support education, research, business, and more.

Have your say by 6 May 2025: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

It was researchers, predominantly working in public sector universities & laboratories, who developed many of the ideas & techniques that are now being used on a massive scale by the big tech companies.
