Do you agree that the administrative burden and the financial regulation
of European research funding should be simplified?

 

February, 2011

 

Take the opportunity and contribute to the public consultation on the future of EU research and innovation!


The Trust Researchers Initiative has received substantial attention. Nevertheless, simplification remains high on the political agenda. The European Commission just published a first set of simplifying measure for FP7 (see C(2011) 174) On 9th February 2011 the European Commission has launched a public consultation on the key issues to be taken into account for future EU research and innovation funding programme. The outcome of the consultation will subsequently feed into the preparation of the Commission's formal proposal for this programme due to be adopted before the end of 2011.


The online consultation can be found at: http://ec.europa.eu/research/csfri/index_en.cfm


It is the right moment to pronounce your comments with regard to simplification and all other questions that are relevant to you. With this message we want to encourage you to get involved and express your views in order to contribute to a further developed and more user-friendly European Research Area.

Join our voices across Europe to get this done

The funding of European research should be based on trust and responsible partnering. Today researchers in Europe face a lot of red tape and cumbersome financial regulations. We are not against rules. But we need to simplify.

"I agree with every single word" (29.4.2010)


Those who have signed this declaration ask the European Council of Ministers and the Parliament to simplify the administrative procedures and the financial provisions of European research funding.
