Opinions with Diversity Europe - Group III members as rapporteur/co-rapporteur/rapporteur-general

The Commission communication presents the EU’s new global approach to research, innovation, education and young people in the light of the Commission’s strategic priorities for economic recovery and for making Europe stronger in the world.

It builds on Europe’s valued contribution to the global research response to the COVID-19 crisis by strengthening the geopolitical dimension of the new European research and education areas and the digital education action plan.

In the Horizon Europe Regulation, the co-legislators have identified eight priority areas for possible institutionalised European partnerships on the basis of Articles 185 or 187 TFEU. Based on this, a set of twelve initiatives were identified as candidates that were subject to a coordinated impact assessment.

The Commission proposal covers nine institutionalised European partnerships based on Article 187 TFEU establishing individual joint undertakings for their implementation.
