I’ve responded to the #EuropeanResearchArea (#ERA) Act questionnaire. Open until Jan. 23.

Key aspects
- Investment target - national commitments to a 3% R&D investment relative to GDP
- Policy alignment - coordination of investments and policies between the EU and Member States
- Framework conditions - research careers, geographical / intersectoral mobility, open science
- Safeguarding values - scientific freedom, ethics, integrity, gender equality, equal opportunities

This week, GÉANT held its first multistakeholder policy event in Brussels—opening a new chapter in how the GÉANT community and European policy makers can work together to shape the #DigitalTransformation of #Europe.

This event laid the groundwork for an ongoing dialogue between GÉANT, our community of NRENs, and the @EUCommission —reinforcing our shared mission to support #research, #science, and #innovation in the #EuropeanResearchArea (ERA).

Yesterday the official presentation of the **Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda** for the forthcoming **European Research and Innovation Partnership on Forests and Forestry for a Sustainable Future** has been taken place in Brussels. This strategic agenda has been based on a co-creation process involving participants from the different stakeholder groups across Europe, from foresters, forest owners to representatives from forest industries, NGOs, public, governmental and EU organisations as well as scientists from fundamental to applied disciplines.

#ClimateChange and #Biodiversity are central themes in this research agenda across all four chapters
