PRESS RELEASE
Why Europe needs research spending (9 June 2005)On 6 April 2005 the European Commission made a proposal for a spending programme for research and development from 2007 to 2013. This programme, in line with the Commission's proposal on the overall budget for this period, envisages a doubling of EU funds for research and development. This reflects the EU's political priority for growth and jobs. The Commission's proposal is backed up by an impact assessment study which examines the link between research investment and increased competitiveness. The present background note highlights some of the findings of the impact assessment. It identifies the strong and positive impact that research and development in general, and the European Framework Programme in particular, has on the European economy. It describes the added value of working together at European level and the effect on job creation within the EU.
PRESS RELEASE
New web site for science education (9 June 2005)On 9 June the "Xplora" portal was launched, a new European gateway for science education. Such initiatives will be an important part of improving Europe's economic position in coming years, as more researchers are needed to drive innovation. "Xplora" provides resources for primary and secondary education and is aimed at teachers, pupils, scientists, communication professionals and others involved in science education. Xplora has been developed with funds from the Science and Society action of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Development.
