The European Union and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) have adopted a ministerial declaration and a new agenda for cooperation to strengthen their partnership in research and innovation.

Co-chaired by Startups, Research, and Innovation Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva (pictured), this was the first EU–CELAC ‘Research and Innovation' ministerial meeting. The agreements reached today outlined shared priorities, concrete actions, and governance to guide bi-regional cooperation in the years ahead. Immediate actions include the launch of dedicated working groups focusing on health, climate change, environmental sustainability and energy transition, and artificial intelligence in science.

With these agreements, both regions commit to joint priorities in health, climate change, sustainability, energy transition, digital transformation, and advanced technologies, while also promoting open science and researcher mobility.

Commissioner Zaharieva said: “Both sides of the Atlantic are facing similar challenges in climate, health, and digital technologies. With the details and the clear roadmap agreed today, we will support our scientists and researchers and turn this partnership into concrete results for our people and economies.”

EU and CELAC ministers will meet every two years to review progress, agree on new priorities, and provide strategic direction for the bi-regional cooperation.

More information on the agreements is available online.
