The University of Cambridge and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission represented respectively by Jennifer Barnes, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for International Strategy and Vladimír Šucha, Director-General, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote and deepen scientific collaboration.
The MoU foresees cooperation in development of practices in the use of evidence to inform policymaking, notably with the University of Cambridge Centre of Science and Policy; academic exchanges; and joint research projects in areas of common interest. A pilot activity on Green Growth and Sustainability is already being developed involving the JRC Institute for Environment and Sustainability, The Cambridge Forum for Sustainability and the Environment and The Cambridge University Strategic Initiatives.
This is the latest in a number of agreements with which the JRC pursues closer cooperation with the European scientific community through partnerships with universities, national academies and other umbrella research organisations. The University of Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and is widely regarded as one of the world's most influential and prestigious academic institutions.
