The EU and the AU’s new innovation agenda is promising, but implementation will be a challenge, says Jan Palmowski

Universities were not prominent in Ursula von der Leyen's State of the Union address, but it left plenty of room for them to thrive, says Jan Palmowski

Discontent about the shortage of university posts and funding will also continue regardless of how people are judged, says Jan Palmowski

A joint EU-AU document places universities in the vanguard of increased intercontinental collaboration, says Jan Palmowski

Kick-starting a conversation on national funding levels is useful, but collaboration on frontier-led research needs attention, says Jan Palmowski

A pan-European document could also boost institutional autonomy, budgets, policy visibility and common problem-solving ability, says Jan Palmowski

Politicians developing the European Research Area must grasp how new knowledge comes about – and what it can do, says Jan Palmowski

If governments commit extra funding and researchers accept the growing industrial emphasis, the European Research Area can fly, says Jan Palmowski

Extra funds for science are welcome, but tipping the balance towards challenge-led research must not become the new normal, warns Jan Palmowski

Slashing research will be a dangerous temptation for politicians desperate for savings, warns Jan Palmowski

As mistrust between the EU and UK deepens, politics could scupper British association to the next framework programme, says Jan Palmowksi
