The European University Association has meanwhile called on countries to oppose some of 바카라사이트 proposals by 바카라사이트 European Commission to divert money from 바카라사이트 Horizon 2020 budget – a major source of funding to UK universities and research centres.
The EUA expressed its “strong disappointment” that two components of 바카라사이트 EU’s research policy – 바카라사이트 European Research Council and 바카라사이트 European Institute of Innovation and Technology – would be heavily hit by 바카라사이트 move. It stressed that 바카라사이트 budget for 바카라사이트 EIT would already be reduced this year.
Horizon 2020 is 바카라사이트 biggest EU research and innovation programme, worth 80 billion (?61.3 billion) in funding over 바카라사이트 next six years.
It aims to drive economic growth by investing in research, but funds from Horizon 2020 will now account for a third of 8 billion to be mobilised for 바카라사이트 newly created European Fund for Strategic Investments.
Jean-Claude Juncker, 바카라사이트 European Commission president, hoped 바카라사이트 EFSI’s 315 billion investment plan would ignite 바카라사이트 EU economy. He said: “We are taking an important step towards putting Europeans back into jobs and kick-starting 바카라사이트 Union’s economy.”
Academics in 바카라사이트 UK were projected to receive ?2 billion in 바카라사이트 first two years of 바카라사이트 Horizon 2020 programme, according to Universities UK, but 바카라사이트 plans to divert money away from it have worried research organisations.
Sir Christopher Snowden, president of Universities UK, said: “Cutting 바카라사이트 Horizon 2020 budget at this stage would risk harming 바카라사이트 performance of 바카라사이트 whole European research system.
“Public investment in research and innovation boosts 바카라사이트 prosperity and growth potential of 바카라사이트 economy.”
He added: “Our competitors outside 바카라사이트 EU are investing in, not cutting, research. China’s investment in research, for example, has increased dramatically in recent years, and it now spends a greater proportion of its GDP on research and development than 바카라사이트 UK.
“It is by investing in world-leading research and innovation that 바카라사이트 EU will help secure growth and respond to changing needs.”
If 바카라사이트 proposals are approved, Horizon 2020 will lose 860 million of its planned budget in 2016, 871 million in 2017 and 479 million in 2018.
UK universities currently receive up to 20 per cent of 바카라사이트ir external research income from 바카라사이트 EU.
In 바카라사이트 proposal, 바카라사이트 European Commission defended 바카라사이트 decision, stating: “The reduction of both programmes to finance 바카라사이트 guarantee fund is expected to ensure a greater investment in certain areas of 바카라사이트ir respective mandates than is possible through 바카라사이트 existing programmes.”
