The European University Association or EUA has called on the European Commission to ensure that the next European Union Framework Programme, FP9, provides long-term policies and funding instruments for research that ‘support both basic and applied research, promote collaboration among different European regions and stimulate interdisciplinary research’. The EUA also called for the programme to reinforce collaboration and minimise discrepancies in commitments to research spending across the EU, research and development or R&D intensity was 3.55 percent in Finland in 2012, but 0.42 percent in Romania, for instance, and to seek a stronger alignment of policies for education, research and innovation.
