EARTO position paper in full support of EU Partnerships in FP10
EARTO just published a position paper stating an unwavering support for EU Partnerships and advocating for the crucial role they must continue to play in the next Framework Programme FP10.
EARTO welcomes the European Commission renewed commitment to bolster industrial competitiveness in Europe, through the implementation of a European Prosperity Plan (Political Guidelines for the next European Commission 2024−2029). This plan prioritises Research, Development, and Innovation (RD&I) as central to the European economy. As a result, European Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) should continue to play a significant role.
In its paper, EARTO presents a pragmatic approach with 5 recommendations aimed at enhancing the use of European PPPs in the next Framework Programme:
- Recommendation 1 – Focus more strategically on the set of Co-programmed and Institutionalised Partnerships for EU Industrial Competitiveness
- Recommendation 2 – Develop a better portfolio approach and strategic coordinating process to reduce duplication and foster synergies between the Partnerships for a more significant impact
- Recommendation 3 – Reinforce the strategic policy advisory role of Co-programmed and Institutionalised Partnerships for the whole FP
- Recommendation 4 – Simplify the Rules for Participation to lower administrative burden
- Recommendation 5 – Address the challenges faced by the Co-funded Partnerships
Download the paper now to read these recommendations in detail, which capitalise on the strengths of the current European PPPs. The recommendations will ensure the successful implementation of Horizon Europe and the proper preparation of FP10.
