Mutual Learning Exercise on Research Careers

The foundation for a strong and competitive research and innovation system is constituted by researchers. Europe now boasts 2 million researchers, and it is crucial to ensure their careers remain attractive across all sectors of society. 

In response, following the European Commission's proposal on 13 July 2023, the Council adopted the Council Recommendation on a European framework to attract and retain research, innovation, and entrepreneurial talents on 18 December 2023. This includes a new Charter for Researchers to enhance working conditions.

Specific Support to Cyprus: Summary Article

A PSF expert panel has examined how Cyprus’s publicly funded universities and research institutes can increase their engagement with the country’s business community. The panel found that their engagement is, indeed, currently low. The main reason is not an unwillingness to engage but a shortage of firms with sufficient “absorptive capacity” as to be able to benefit from the research, laboratory and consulting services that the universities and research institutes could offer: where there is very little effective demand, developing sustainable supply is practically impossible.
