CESAER calls on the European Union to empower universities, researchers and innovators to shape and lead the future of AI in Europe.

CESAER calls on the European Union to develop an integrated European ecosystem for research and technology infrastructures.

In this position, CESAER presents key recommendations to strengthen Europe’s human capital in science and technology, as a cornerstone of competitiveness, resilience and prosperity.

Through its bottom-up and non-prescriptive nature, the MSCA has empowered researchers at all stages of their careers. It has enabled breakthroughs in strategic areas such as AI, quantum, health, and climate, often well before these areas were politically prioritised. The programme is already delivering on EU priorities without the need for top-down thematic focus. What it requires now is more support and funding, not redefinition.

Europe’s leading universities of science and technology outline key recommendations to shape Erasmus+ for 2028–2034.

Leading universities of science and technology united within CESAER set out seven recommendations to unlock the full potential of Europe’s innovation ecosystems through the forthcoming European Innovation Act.

In a joint statement, CESAER and The Guild member universities call on the European Commission and the member states to ensure widely spread and predictable call deadlines of Research and Innovation (R&I) Framework Programmes. They also urge an adjustment in the timing of these call deadlines to further support the professionalisation of research management, thereby enhancing European excellence and competitiveness.

CESAER – the strong and united voice of universities of science and technology in Europe – urges the EU to empower institutions to drive ERA implementation through trust-based, simplified measures in the framework programme.
