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.

Mutual Learning Exercise on Public Engagement in R&I

The Mutual Learning Exercise (MLE) “Public Engagement in R&I” aims at exchanging success stories, experiences, and challenges in fostering meaningful public participation in research and innovation (R&I). This collaborative dialogue will focus on national experiences of democracy, inclusion, and equity in R&I governance. This cooperation will equip European and national policymakers with the skills and tools they need to effectively level-up public engagement in R&I policy.
