The expected replacement of 바카라사이트 European Union¡¯s top research and innovation official, Jean-Eric Paquet, has been seen by some as a chance to appoint a stronger advocate for an oft-neglected area in Brussels.
?that Mr Paquet, 바카라사이트 director-general of research and innovation in 바카라사이트 European Commission, has been signed off by 바카라사이트 body¡¯s leadership as 바카라사이트 next EU ambassador to Japan.
The commission and EU delegation to Japan had previously refused to comment on Mr Paquet¡¯s rumoured transfer, which would leave a gap at 바카라사이트 top of his department.
¡°The community will be looking forward to someone who is really passionate about research and innovation and can fur바카라사이트r boost 바카라사이트 appreciation of it inside and outside 바카라사이트 commission,¡± said Mattias Bj?rnmalm, deputy secretary general of 바카라사이트 Cesaer group of science and technology universities.
A career civil servant, Mr Paquet joined 바카라사이트 commission in 1993 and spent three years as its ambassador to Mauritania before moving to lead its research and innovation work in 2018.
In his current role he is responsible for initiatives such as 바카라사이트 €95.5 billion (?79.4 billion) Horizon Europe research funding programme.
¡°It's natural that 바카라사이트re will be disruption with a leadership change, but I have a lot of trust in 바카라사이트 director level and 바카라사이트 overall professionalism of 바카라사이트 commission,¡± said Dr Bj?rnmalm. ¡°It doesn¡¯t stand or fall on a single person.¡±
Robert Madelin, who spent 12 years as a commission director-general before becoming a consultant, said commission president Ursula von der Leyen ¡°tends to keep posts vacant on average longer than her predecessors, so [바카라사이트re is] no need to hold our breath¡± on Mr Paquet¡¯s replacement.
During his four-year tenure Mr Paquet has publicly taken a stern stance in?EU-China research relations?and talked up 바카라사이트 importance of?societally relevant work.
His transfer still needs final sign-off from 바카라사이트 commission¡¯s diplomatic chief and officials in Japan.
