EU plans to plug the east-west R&D gap:
Draft of the work programme says Horizon Europe will fund
projects that help universities to attract and retain talent,
reducing brain drain from member states with weak research
systems.
The Commission also wants to establish a framework for research careers and a
common academic career structure, that promotes widespread recognition of the
competences that PhD students and postdocs in various stages of their careers
have obtained, both within and outside academia, and regardless of sector,
discipline or location.
Coordinator must be from Widening countries, but it’s required to have strong
elements in terms of partnership with advanced partners > Game changer
through strong partnership
