The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities has presented a statement underscoring the importance of health research in maintaining the EU’s global competitiveness and the well-being of its citizens. The statement is made in the constext of the EU’s forthcoming initiatives, including the Life Sciences Strategy, the EU Biotech Act, the Pharmaceutical Reform’s finalisation, and the European Health Data Space implementation. The Guild claims that addressing challenges such as fragmented health systems and skills shortages requires strong investment in research and skills, and that this strategic commitment should be reflected in the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and in FP 10.
