Ministers today adopted Council conclusions on the\u00a0global approach to research and innovation<\/strong>, \u2018Europe\u2019s strategy for international cooperation in a changing world\u2019. In these conclusions, ministers identify key actions to strengthen the EU\u2019s global role in research and innovation, with a strong focus on\u00a0shared fundamental values and principles<\/strong>, with openness being balanced by prudence, and cooperation by reciprocity. The conclusions take into account the need for strategic autonomy and emphasise\u00a0freedom of scientific research and gender equality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The EU must be an attractive, inclusive, and gender-balanced environment for researchers, academics, entrepreneurs and students all around the world. Central to creating such an environment are the principles of openness, multilateralism, shared values and priorities, and knowledge circulation. This is what the Global Approach is all about.<\/p>\n

Simona Kustec, Slovenian Minister for Education, Science and Sport<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The conclusions encourage the creation, sharing and wide dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of society. Ministers state the importance of\u00a0rules-based multilateral cooperation<\/strong>\u00a0and dialogue when it comes to social, environmental, health, digital and economic challenges. To tackle these global challenges, ministers identify\u00a0openness<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0international cooperation<\/strong>\u00a0with third countries as essential factors.<\/p>\n

The new global approach to research and innovation (R&I) sees the\u00a0Horizon Europe\u00a0<\/strong>programme as the central framework for the facilitation of international R&I cooperation. The conclusions aim for the continuous involvement of member states, and call for more cooperation with countries associated under Horizon Europe and with other third countries.<\/p>\n

Ministers call upon the Commission and member states to be \u2018as open as possible and as closed as necessary\u2019 in their discussions with global partners, who are considered essential in international R&I cooperation. Ministers also call upon the Commission to explore the set-up of mechanisms for cooperation in the fields of science, innovation and cultural diplomacy, and emphasise the need to protect researchers whose freedom of scientific research is under threat.<\/p>\n

The Global Approach will be implemented through:<\/p>\n
