Czy UE może zrobić wystarczająco dużo, aby przyciągnąć naukowców do pracy w swoich krajach?  Europa jest domem dla ponad dwóch milionów naukowców, a blok chce przyciągnąć znacznie więcej, zwłaszcza po ograniczeniach nałożonych przez rząd USA na społeczność naukową. Czy inicjatywa „Wybierz Europę” wystarczy, aby UE stała się światowym liderem w dziedzinie nauki?

00:00KONIEC

00:14Europe is home to more than 2 million researchers

00:17and the bloc wants to attract many more.

00:19The European Commission has seen an opportunity

00:22in the restrictions imposed by the US government

00:25on the scientific community.

00:27The Choose Europe for Science initiative promises more resources

00:31and less bureaucracy for researchers coming from outside the bloc.

00:34In EU Decoded we investigate whether this is enough

00:38to make the EU a world leader in science.

00:41The European Commission has promised a new 500 million euro package

00:45for the period 2025 to 2027.

00:4920 million euro will be earmarked specifically

00:52for research projects with industrial applications.

00:55A new 7-year super grant will provide researchers

00:59with long-term career prospects.

01:01Researchers who relocate to Europe

01:03have a top-up beyond the grant

01:05and that amount will be doubled this year.

01:08In her speech to present the initiative

01:10the President of the European Commission said

01:12that the EU needs to stand for science.

01:14Ursula von der Leyen added

01:16that is the fuel for growth and progress.

01:19What do Europeans think of this race for scientific genius?

01:23Viverem para cá é uma concorrência deslegial

01:26para aqueles que já cá estão, não é?

01:28Portanto, viver na Europa já é um incentivo para quem quer que seja.

01:32Não sejam sempre os cá e para lá aprender que também possam vir para cá passar a mensagem, os conhecimentos.

01:41Acho que fazer a pont com a industria é também importante para se financiar essa própria investigação científica.

01:47Claro que sim, porque a aula é a base.

01:49E o mais que vamos formar,

01:51e o mais que vamos formar,

01:53e o mais que vamos formar,

01:54e o mais que vamos formar,

01:55o mais que vamos formar,

01:56o mais que é melhor.

01:57Eu acho que isso não é um problema,

01:59principalmente se são pessoas que realmente se conhecem sobre isso

02:03e são pessoas que realmente se conhecem

02:04e são pessoas que podem aprender de pessoas que podem aprender de pessoas,

02:07então eu acho que isso não tem nada.

02:09Meu colega Amadeen S.

02:10covered this announcement for Euronews.

02:13In her speech about the initiative,

02:16Ursula von der Leyen

02:17never mentioned the situation in the United States.

02:20However, many people thought there were indirect references

02:24to President Donald Trump's recent measures in this area.

02:28Could you explain a bit that context?

02:30The President of the EU Commission

02:32stated that the role of science in today's world is being questioned

02:36and she even stated it was a gigantic miscalculation.

02:40So let's keep in mind that in the United States,

02:43the Trump administration has launched major offensives against universities.

02:49So some federal budget was cut,

02:51some research grants were terminated.

02:54Researchers are also banned from using some words

02:57such as climate change or women in their papers

03:00or they face the risk of losing access to funding.

03:04There is not only a financial announcement here,

03:07there is also the mention of a new European Research Area Act.

03:12What's the goal of that legislation?

03:14So one of the goals of this European Research Area Act

03:18is to enshrine the freedom of scientific research in law.

03:23The EU Commission made it clear

03:25the main priority of the Choose Europe initiative

03:28is to make sure that science remains free and open.

03:31In fact, in Germany, for instance,

03:33academic and research freedom are seen as fundamental rights

03:38and they are already enshrined in the German constitution.

03:42There is also a lot of emphasis on using science to create new business opportunities.

03:48What will be the novelties in that front?

03:51The novelties in that front will be that the EU Commission

03:54is planning to put forward a European Innovation Act

03:57as well as a start-up and scale-up strategy.

04:01And basically, the aim is to cut red tape

04:03and to facilitate access to venture capital for European companies.

04:09And this is not a new idea.

04:10It was already put forward in the Draghi report on EU competitiveness,

04:15which was suggesting to create a research and innovation union

04:18in order to foster EU competitiveness.

04:21Let's look at the state of investment in European science.

04:24In the EU budget for 2021 to 2027, distributed among the 27 member states,

04:3193 billion Euro has been allocated to the Horizon Europe research program.

04:36In addition, each country decides its national investment,

04:40with significant disparities.

04:42Belgium spends 3.4% of its GDP, while Romania only 0.4%.

04:48In total, the bloc spends 2.2% of its GDP

04:52and the Commission has set a target of 3% by 2030.

04:56But even this figure is well below that of other advanced regions.

05:00The United States with 3.5%,

05:03Japan with 3.3%,

05:05and China with 2.4%.

05:08Our guest is Ekaterina Zahariev,

05:10European Commissioner responsible for start-ups, research and innovation.

05:15Welcome to EuroNews.

05:16I'd like to start by asking what is your opinion

05:19of the recent United States government measures towards academia

05:24and other scientific institutions,

05:27not only in budgetary terms,

05:29but also even political guidelines about how to do research.

05:33In Europe, we do differently.

05:35We don't tell researchers how and what to research.

05:38We respect scientific freedom,

05:40we respect scientists,

05:42and everybody is free to research,

05:45and they're welcome in Europe.

05:48That's why the European Commission is presenting the Choose Europe initiative.

05:53Do you think it will be enough to attract researchers from all parts of the world,

05:58considering that the ones that are already working here face,

06:02you know, a lot of red tape, you know, bureaucratic problems,

06:07and short budgets as well?

06:10We have an excellent program, actually.

06:12It is Horizon Europe.

06:13It's the brand name program,

06:15the biggest, actually, program in the world for research and innovation.

06:19So we are really very focused on reducing the red tape,

06:24reducing the report,

06:25so to say, focusing on how to make the program more accessible

06:30for the small research organization,

06:32for the smaller companies, for SMEs,

06:35which will spare time and money for the applicants.

06:40Scientists fear that the next research framework program

06:45will be kind of short of money,

06:47and at the same time that it might be even diluted

06:50into the new competitiveness fund.

06:53What is your strategy?

06:55The public funds will be never enough.

06:57So what the Commission is working and is focused

07:01is how to see more investment coming from the private sector

07:04in research and innovation.

07:05But what we are lagging behind and what we have problem,

07:08and I speak a lot with both the private sector but with academia,

07:12is really to transfer this knowledge,

07:14to transfer this discovery to the market.

07:17So this is the goal of competitiveness fund.

07:19As I said, research innovation program,

07:22the framework programs are in our treaties.

07:24So there will be a research and innovation program.

07:27But connection with competitiveness is really crucial,

07:30I think, for deployment.

07:31So it will be win-win.

07:33A quarter of the world's researchers work in Europe,

07:36making it one of the most productive in terms of new knowledge.

07:39The bloc is considered a leader in some areas,

07:42such as robotics, space technology and pharmaceuticals, for example.

07:47This is a highly competitive sector worldwide,

07:50and the EU member states will have to open up their pockets

07:53in order to attract the best to its academia and industry.
