European Research Area’s research assessment reform plan nears consensus

The evaluation of research outputs within Europe may soon become simpler and more unified as the reform of research assessment within the European Research Area received backing from member states’ science ministers – albeit stressing that the versatility of research systems within the EU must be considered.

ITRE committee holds structured dialogue with Mariya Gabriel

The European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) held a structured dialogue with the Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth Mariya Gabriel at its 13 June meeting. The meeting covered Horizon Europe’s history and achievements since its launch in 2021, with emphasis on the role of the Horizon programme as a tool to support Ukrainian scientists.

DEVE and ENVI Committees call for SDG implementation strategy

A joint report by the European Parliament Committee on Development and Committee on Environment on calling for an implementation strategy of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was adopted after passing the vote with a high majority on 2 June. The vote follows a recently released Eurostat report on the state of SDGs in Europe and an exchange with commissioner Paolo Gentiloni.

Laurence Moreau appointed as ERC’s executive agency director

Laurence Moreau is the new director of the European Research Council (ERC)’s executive agency. The Executive Agency is the implementing arm of the ERC, which means it is responsible for organisational, financial, peer-review evaluation- and strategy-implementation related matters.

UK chemical research rated high, but international research cooperation is in trouble

The findings of the Research Excellence Framework demonstrate that the United Kingdom’s chemical research is outstandingly high quality. The bright results of the research, carried out by academics and research users, however, were overshadowed by a new UK graduate visa scheme that does not bode well for academic cooperation between the UK and the European Union.
