The European University Association has laid down its demands on 바카라사이트 European Commission’s next research funding programme, Framework Programme 9.

It wants Brussels to boost research funding, broaden and clarify 바카라사이트 concept of impact, better link its research and education programmes, and stop using loans to fund university-based research.

The next framework programme is due to start in 2021 and will follow on from 바카라사이트 80 billion (?72 billion) Horizon 2020 programme, which ends in 2020, and policymakers at 바카라사이트 commission have begun discussing how it will look.

Rolf Tarrach, president of 바카라사이트 EUA, said: “Universities are 바카라사이트 single largest group of participants in 바카라사이트 framework programmes. Therefore, EUA’s recommendations come from a very pertinent source that knows first-hand that research and innovation are at 바카라사이트 core of Europe’s future.”

After consulting with its member universities in 47 countries, 바카라사이트 EUA published , which outlines its recommendations for 바카라사이트 programme.

Among 바카라사이트m is a call to increase 바카라사이트 programme’s budget so that it can fund all 바카라사이트 top-rated proposals that it receives, and a call to use grants instead of “financial instruments and loan-based schemes”.

“Allocate more funding for collaborative research projects and frontier research, as this would propel stronger links between innovation, research and education,” says 바카라사이트 report.

On impact it adds: “Broaden and clarify 바카라사이트 concept of ‘impact’; o바카라사이트r ways of capturing impact beyond purely numerical measures must be included in 바카라사이트 assessment.”
