EARE’s Manifesto

At EARE, our primary objective is to advocate for a policy and regulatory environment which facilitates data sharing and use,
fosters innovation, and promotes a competitive European research and innovation ecosystem. Based on our members’ feedback, we have developed our policy recommendations for the next five years. The upcoming mandate will be pivotal in shaping the future of research and development, especially with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will play a crucial role in enhancing the EU’s competitiveness and strategic autonomy, ensuring that Europe remains at the forefront of innovation while safeguarding its values and interests . We call on the European Commission to help ensure that AI contributes positively to society and the economy and reinforces Europe’s position as a leader in innovation.
