The European Research Area: Priorities for research universities
In this paper, LERU responds to the European Commission’s just concluded consultation on ERA (European Research Area). LERU supports the concept and objectives of the ERA and therefore puts forward the priorities for EU research policy advocated by some of Europe’s leading research-intensive universities. Nine aspects are emphasised and discussed throughout the paper: researchers, cross-border operations, research infrastructures, knowledge transfer, open access, international dimension, managing and monitoring the ERA partnership, gender and ethics.
