Research collaboration on a robust European research and innovation strategy under a lofty program

In a significant move towards enhancing people's well-being and quality of life, 109 associations, including our website, have joined forces to sign a Joint Statement for an Ambitious next European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10).

The partnerships formed are part of a broader effort to improve people's lives across Europe. The Joint Statement calls for an increase in pan-European collaborative research on FP10, with a particular focus on road-transport relevant R&D&I partnerships such as 2ZERO, CCAM, and BATT4EU.

These partnerships aim to promote the industrial uptake of novel technologies in road transport, with a view to increasing European long-term competitiveness. 2ZERO, CCAM, and BATT4EU focus on novel technologies in the context of road transport, working to scale-up these technologies into new solutions, products, and services.

The Joint Statement also emphasizes the continuation of these specific road-transport relevant R&D&I partnerships among its priorities. The goal is to attract and retain private R&D&I investments in Europe, as the global technology race necessitates that the EU fully capitalizes on its scientific and technological potential.

Moreover, the EU needs to do more to ensure strong industrial participation in FP10. The leaders of the 109 associations who signed the joint statement for an ambitious next European research and innovation program are not explicitly named in the provided search results. However, the available information mentions leaders of certain university alliances, such as Professor Enrico Schleiff (Goethe University Frankfurt), Professor Tanja Brühl (TU Darmstadt), and Professor Georg Krausch (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz).

Notably, FP10 currently lags behind other regions in collaborative research. The focus of FP10 should be on excellent cross-border collaborative Research, Development, and Innovation (RD&I), with the aim of improving people's well-being and quality of life. The Joint Statement underscores the need for FP10 to be ambitious, with a focus on fostering collaborative research and innovation to drive Europe's competitiveness in the global technology landscape.
