In a joint statement, the European University Association (EUA), the Young European Research Universities Network (YERUN), Aurora Universities, The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities and the Coimbra Group commended the much-needed attention given to research careers in the European Commission proposal for a Council Recommendation on a European framework to attract and retain talents in Europe.
This is a welcome step forward, but must be the first in a series of more active commitments on the part of EU member states to improve research careers in Europe.
