The new direction of the agenda for the forthcoming FP10 raises concerns not only about future international cooperation, but also about the participation of third countries. It's assumed that only certain components of FP10 will include dual-use activities. It's therefore crucial to take an inclusive approach when determining the eligibility of dual-use projects and to avoid excessive restrictions on participation. #HorizonEurope #FP10
Should dual-use defense technologies be part of FP10? While strengthening defense-related R&D is critical, it shouldn't overshadow the need for consistent funding across all research disciplines. Basic research promotes critical debate, academic freedom and education. However, the FP10 agenda is increasingly dominated by dual-use activities, raising concerns about Europe's future openness and international cooperation. A balance between civil and military research and development is important, but it's crucial to consider the impact on cooperation and budgetary constraints. #ResearchFunding #DualUseTech #EUResearch https://lnkd.in/dQJKvCHE
