Science Europe organised its first Conference on Open Science on 18-19 October 2022. During this interactive event institutional leaders, researchers at all stages of their careers, and experts from the field will discussed two main questions: - Is Open Science ready to become the norm in research? - How do we ensure an equitable transition to Open Science?

Today, the ERA Forum meeting between the Commission, Member States, Horizon Europe associated countries and stakeholders marked the finalisation of the first ERA Policy Agenda 2022-24.

Substantial discrepancies exist between European research and innovation (R&I) capacities.The existing gaps between different areas of Europe are at risk of expanding due to new societal and economic challenges, a rapidly evolving global landscape with a fierce competition for R&I leadership, and the consequences of the war between Russia and Ukraine. In addition, the non-association of UK and Switzerland to Horizon Europe is a risk factor for the entire EU. Leveraging the potential of Europe’s existing talent, developing new capacities, and optimising and spreading the benefits of research and innovation throughout the EU, are therefore more important than ever. This is in accordance with the European Research Area Policy Agenda, and especially Action 16 ‘Improve EU-Wide Access to Excellence’. Europe must reinforce its position as a top knowledge hub and enhance its competitiveness and ability to address societal challenges. Moreover, urgent action is necessary to reinforce and facilitate mobility of researchers between European countries.

There are two ways to join the coalition, either as a signatory of the Agreement or as a full member of CoARA. Both signatories and members publicly endorse the reform of research assessment in line with the 10 core Commitments and both agree to submit an action plan within one year of signing the agreement.
