The German Rectors’ Conference (HRK) and its two partner organizations in France (France Universités) and Poland (Konferencja Rektorów Akademickich Szkół Polskich; KRASP) are calling for sustainable EU research funding based on openness, excellence and long-term funding. They support the EU’s plans to strengthen research and innovation, but are clearly in favor of a tenth edition of the proven funding program for research and innovation, according to a press release published on Tuesday.
