Our Annual Report 2025, highlights key achievements and impact stories from our task forces and Members, demonstrating how CESAER leads together.
Drawing on leadership interviews, consultations with academic and administrative staff, student perspectives and a high-level roundtable, this white paper shows that universities of science and technology increasingly experience European University Alliances as long-term institutional cooperation frameworks rather than short-term projects. It highlights strong strategic alignment with institutional priorities, growing interest in stronger links across education, research and innovation, and the importance of trust, shared governance and long-term vision in making cooperation work. Building on this evidence, the white paper sets out high-level recommendations for EU institutions, member states, Alliances and universities.
We release today a report on ‘Industrial doctorates: strengthening Europe’s research–industry talent pipelines’, outlining how industrial doctorates can strengthen collaboration between universities and industry and reinforce Europe’s high-skilled talent pipelines.
This report presents good practice case studies on how universities of science and technology are strengthening research careers and supporting the next generation of researchers across Europe.
In an input note published on 26 March, CESAER puts forward concrete proposals to clarify and optimise the positioning of civil, dual-use, and defence research and innovation in future EU funding programmes.
CESAER has published additional proposed amendments to FP10, complementing the joint amendments package agreed with partner organisations. Building on shared priorities, these proposals bring in the specific expertise of universities of science and technology to help ensure that the future programme is both ambitious and workable in practice.

Europe’s competitiveness now depends on delivery. In a joint statement with key partners, CESAER sets out how FP10 and the European Competitiveness Fund can work together as autonomous, complementary programmes—linking excellence-driven research to the accelerated development of advanced technologies and associated talent and helping Europe move faster from breakthroughs to scale and impact.
On 18 February, CESAER and partners present amendments for a strengthened Erasmus+ that reinforces its core missions, ensures adequate investment and governance, and builds strategic synergies to support Europe’s competitiveness, resilience and talent base.
