Competitive research funding is at breaking point.
Institutions and teams, not ‘superstar’ academics, must be heart of the system, says Peter Kolarz.

The ERC-BROKENSONG project at Maynooth University, Ireland, is hiring (two positions - this is the second)! I'm also looking a new research assistant/postdoc to conduct image analysis of the medieval Insular music corpus recovered within the project. See: www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/list...
Promotional image for the European University Association's analysis of the European Commission's Horizon Europe 2028-2034 proposal, featuring an abstract blue-toned background of architectural glass structures. Text "The programme's fundamentals: Horizon Europe remains a stand-alone programme. Unclear boundaries with the European Competitiveness Fund threaten Horizon's independence and integrity. Budget proposal points in the right direction, but falls short of what is really needed. Approach to dual-use research remains unclear."
The Commission’s proposal of €175 billion for #FP10 is encouraging: it must serve as a baseline in upcoming negotiations. Anything below €175 billion would be a missed opportunity for Europe’s competitiveness, prosperity and resilience

Fantastic opportunity 👏
St Brigits day resolution - support your local Eco Centre! @sonairte.bsky.social This place in east Meath is really worth a visit, vegan/veggie cafe; playground; nature walk; organic veg; zero waste refills; second hand shop. They could do with some support, staying open to the public isnt easy.
Why generational differences are a distraction in your workplace. The temptation to explain workplace challenges through generational narratives is understandable, but it may be misplaced, writes @marianchenry.bsky.social @maynoothuniversity.ie @researchireland.ie www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Visual reading 'Policy Input: Erasmus+ 2028-2034, EUA response to the European Commission's public consultation on the EU's next long-term budget (MFF),' with the European University Association logo on the top right over a blurred architectural background.
As every Euro can only be spent once, Erasmus+ should be ambitious and innovative, but the programme also needs to focus on actions that provide distinct added value for European citizens.

To properly address R&I investment across Europe, both the EU and national governments must increase funding. To make the most of these investments, the ERA Act should encourage and support reforms of national R&I systems. https://bit.ly/3Zjq913

Expanding Horizon Europe’s Pillar III is very welcome, but researchers and universities are absent from this part of the Commission’s #FP10 proposal.
🏛️ Universities should be explicitly recognised and included as participants.
