EuCheMS has responded to the European Commission’s public call for feedback on the implementation of Missions within the future research Framework Programme (FP9). EuCheMS highlighted a number of issues that need to be addressed as soon as possible, including, finding solutions on ‘Sustainable Low Carbon Energy for All’, ‘Forming a fit-for purpose Food Landscape’, ‘Enabling our Ageing Population’, and ‘Averting an Antimicrobial Resistance Apocalypse’. A funding instrument that recognises these priorities, and that recognises the role science can play in providing solutions is crucial. Read our feedback here.
