The EU has made strides towards building a more integrated, efficient and attractive single market for research and innovation, but further work is needed to fully tap into its potential. These are the conclusions of the Communication on the implementation of the European Research Area (ERA) that the Commission adopted today, reaffirming its commitment to placing research and innovation at the core of Europe's future growth. As highlighted by the Draghi report and the Political Guidelines for the next Commission, research and innovation are critical drivers of economic resilience, competitiveness and wellbeing.

Initiated in 2000 to address fragmentation in the European research landscape and given a new push in 2020, the ERA aims to create a dynamic and attractive environment for researchers and innovators across Europe, making it the place to be for them. The new Communication takes stock of the progress made under the four strategic objectives agreed with the member states and highlights where further work is needed, in terms of prioritising investments and reforms, improving access to excellence, translating results into economic impact, and deepening the ERA.

Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth Commissioner Iliana Ivanova (pictured) said: “The vision for the European Research Area remains as relevant today as it was in 2000. I am proud of what we have achieved. We now have a strong foundation to build on, as we progress with making Europe the place to be for researchers and innovators. Now is the time to address the remaining challenges and unlock Europe's full potential to prosper and compete on the global stage.”
