Abstract
As EuropeEurope faces an era of unprecedented challenges and opportunities that transcend national borders, initiatives such as Horizon Europe and researchresearch and innovationinnovation (R&I) frameworks (such as FP10) represent a key commitment of the continent to prioritize R&I to drive scientific and societal progress. With adequate funding and a defined framework, it can go beyond being a mere funding mechanism and instead act as a catalyst for exceptional, collaborative, inclusive and impactful R&I across Europe. By positioning the European continent as a leader in new discoveries and knowledge, such projects can enable it to address global concerns successfully. To shape tangible and meaningful R&I according to local and universityuniversity needs, the authors of this article present the top-down strategic vision of the EU through initiatives such as Horizon/FP10, including the views of mid-level stakeholders and organizations such as the European University Association (EUA). They also present an alternative vision and address national/regional contributions from the bottom up.
