On 4 July 2024, EARPA co-signed a joint statement with 109 other European associations representing key European RD&I stakeholders.
While the global technology race accelerates, the EU significantly lags behind in terms of investments in RD&I, in particular related to automotive research, compared to its global competitors.
EARPA calls on the EU Institutions to significantly increase the current RD&I budget in view of next European Framework Programme Research and Innovation (FP10).
We are ready to further discuss the design of FP10 with the EU Institutions. We are fully convinced that Europe has much better potential in the gloal innovation race than what it is currently performing.
