Dear ERC grantee,<br>
<br>
I hope you and your loved ones are fine in these troubled times.<br>
<br>
I am sending you an unusual message about the ongoing fierce battle <br>
around the EU?s future research budget.<br>
<br>
At the European Council summit in July, the EU?s national leaders?agreed <br>
on a compromise about the EU long-term budget that entails?a massive cut <br>
to the?planned budget for the next framework programme Horizon Europe, <br>
and potentially for the ERC.<br>
<br>
A potentially disastrous threat for the future of Europe?s research,?at <br>
a time when research is needed more than ever and when political leaders <br>
claim that the success of their?policies will?depend on research and <br>
innovation.?There is a considerable gap with the ambitions?expressed.<br>
<br>
The research community and the ERC are currently working very?hard to <br>
achieve an important revision of this compromise. On Monday I was given <br>
the opportunity to speak at the?European Parliament in the ITRE <br>
Committee that takes care of research. Here is my speech <br>
