Summary

The European Research Network (ERRIN) has published a groundbreaking paper on the strategic role of EU missions in the upcoming budget, highlighting their critical function in shaping future policy. The document emphasizes the need for mission-oriented approaches and reinforces existing initiatives, including the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), to ensure sustainable economic growth and technological innovation for the region. By complementing amendments to the European Competitiveness Fund (FP10) and the European Commission's current strategic direction, this work underscores a unified vision for long-term stability and prosperity.

A significant milestone today occurred with ERRIN's signing of an Open Letter, calling on the European Parliament, the European Council, and the European Commission to safeguard Smart Specialisation Strategies and multi-level governance in the post-2027 timeframe. This collective commitment ensures that EU institutions remain dedicated to advancing the digital economy and preserving the European Union's competitive edge against global challenges. The initiative aims to strengthen resilience across all levels of administration, guaranteeing that future spending remains focused on high-impact, mission-driven goals. The resulting Open Letter serves as a strong diplomatic framework that supports the broader EU strategy for future economic development, fostering cooperation among member states to secure their collective well-being for the next decade.
