Insistence on ‘excellent’ research is commonplace, but Science Europ warns that it can damage integrity and foster ruthless competition when poorly defined
The Research and Innovation (R&I) sector has been sacrificed in these budget negotiations, when it should have been the spearhead of an ambitious, future-oriented, knowledge-based plan for Europe. Science Europe now calls the European Parliament and the European Commission, as the protectors of European R&I, to continue taking a strong stand in favour of a larger budget for Horizon Europe
Lidia Borrell-Damián, Science Europe Secretary General, quoted in Times Higher Education expressing disappointment over the proposed Horizon Europe budget.
Marc Schiltz, the President of Science Europe, is quoted in Science Business saying that the new Horizon budget is lower than anyone had expected it to be: “We are hugely disappointed that the budget is not in any way commensurate to the challenges ahead,” said Schiltz.
Science Europe calls on research funding and performing organisations to continuously evaluate their research assessment processes to ensure that they are effective, efficient, fair, and transparent.
Research organisations urged to disclose their assessment practices and how they address bias.
