Hydrogen Europe Research supports the Joint Declaration for a bold FP10

Hydrogen Europe Research is proud to support the Joint Declaration for a bold FP10!

Together with 86 leading European research and innovation organisations, we are calling on the European Institutions to make research, development and innovation a central pillar of Europe's future competitiveness. As highlighted in the Draghi Report and the Competitiveness Compass, Europe must invest more in research and innovation to strengthen productivity, accelerate the green and digital transitions, and maintain its global leadership.

The next Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10) should be ambitious and well resourced. In particular, we support:
🔹 A substantially increased budget for FP10;
🔹 Strong support for collaborative, industry-driven RD&I through a strengthened Pillar II;
🔹 Investment across the entire research and innovation cycle, from fundamental research to deployment and scale-up.

Research and innovation are not only drivers of competitiveness, but they are also essential to building a resilient, sustainable, and prosperous Europe.
