Recommendations for Partnerships under upcoming FP10

On behalf of the European Commission, several expert groups have published reports on the interim evaluation of Horizon Europe and made recommendations for European Partnerships under FP10 in recent months.

The published reports include:

• The ERAC Opinion on Guidance for the next Framework Programme for Research & Innovation (June 2024)
• Publication of the so-called Draghi Report: The future of European competitiveness – A competitiveness strategy for Europe (September 2024)
• Advice on the future Framework Programme by the High Level Expert Group, chaired by former Portuguese Minister for Research Manuel Heitor in the groups report 'Align, act, accelerate' (October 2024)

The recommendations range from simplifying the rules for European Partnerships, reducing administrative burdens, introducing new instruments such as the Competitiveness Joint Undertaking, and creating an independent Industrial Competitiveness and Technology Council and a European Societal Challenges Council to steer collaborative research (including Partnerships).

ERA-LEARN has summarised the key messages on European Partnerships from the reports on a new page on the future Framework Programme FP10.
