ERRIN two-pager for European decision-makers

ERRIN two-pager for European decision-makers

Following the European elections on 6-9 June 2024, the European Parliament and the European Commission will undergo political changes at a time when new EU policy priorities are emerging in the evolving geopolitical context.

As the new political cycle begins, European competitiveness, strategic autonomy and addressing the feeling of disconnect between citizens and the EU are among the major issues on the table. Fostering collaboration in R&I is key to helping Europe prosper in the wider geopolitical context. At the same time, maintaining the link with the needs and realities of territories is crucial to ensure optimal impact of policies and keeping people at the centre of the European project.

In this context, ERRIN is pleased to share a two-pager for the incoming European decision-makers, aiming to present the network and our value to the new MEPs, raising a voice for the importance of place-based R&I in the changing landscape. The document was co-created with the ERRIN Management Board and launched during the ERRIN Spring Annual General Meeting on 20 June.

We encourage all ERRIN members to share the attached two-pager with their new MEPs to introduce ERRIN and the value of place-based R&I.
