ERA Policy Agenda 2025–2027
The ERA Policy Agenda 2025–2027wasformally adopted by the Council on 23 May, following the European Commission’s proposal published on 28 February 2025. The ERA Policy Agenda is a comprehensive 3 year roadmap for enhancing Europe’s research and innovation (R&I) ecosystem, addressing key challenges like knowledge mobility, sustainability and international competitiveness, while ensuring measurable outcomes and broad voluntary participation by Member States and stakeholders. The second ERA Policy Agenda outlines voluntary activities for the European Research Area (ERA) from 2025 to 2027, aiming to transform the priority areas set by the Pact for Research and Innovation (R&I) in Europe into concrete activities, bringing EU Member States, countries associated to Horizon Europe, R&I stakeholders and the Commission together to make the ERA a reality.
The ERA Policy Agenda 2025–2027 has three main building blocks:
A forward-looking policy narrative that sets the overall ambitions of the ERA in a rapidly changing global landscape
11 structural policies outline long-term undertakings, embedded in national and European policy, such as open science, research infrastructures and research careers.
8 ERA actionsare filling specific gaps on new or emerging issues
