Research and Innovation Performance report: Enabling Europe to lead the green and digital transition
On 27 May, the Commission released its latest report on the EU's Science, Research and Innovation Performance, through which it analyses how Europe performs in the global context.
Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth Commissioner Mariya Gabriel said: “Research and innovation is at the core of the response to the unprecedented crisis we are facing and can significantly contribute to the economic recovery. The 2020 Science, Research and Innovation Performance report shows how research and innovation are central to bring about the ecological and digital transitions Europe needs. Horizon 2020 and the future Horizon Europe programme play a crucial role in this transformation.”
The report highlights the need for research and innovation (R&I) to support sustainable and inclusive growth of companies, regions and countries, making sure that no one is left behind in the quest for strengthening innovation systems, especially in less-developed regions. It also emphasizes the importance of ensuring that Europeans have the right skills, in the light of new technological revolutions, as well as the significant role of R&I policy in reinforcing companies' productivity, resulting in jobs and value creation, in a sustainable way.
In particular, the 2020 edition of the biennial report presents 11 policy recommendations to support our people, planet and prosperity. The recommendations pave the way towards R&I delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals and mainstreaming them into EU policies and initiatives that will contribute to a fair, climate-neutral and digital Europe, while at the same time boosting the competitiveness of European businesses and regions. More information is available in this press release.
