All 27 Member States have endorsed the Warsaw Declaration, proposed by the Polish presidency, demanding independent and efficient financing for scientific research and innovation.
The declaration emphasises that science requires a bold budget to ensure that research outcomes and innovations strengthen the EU’s competitiveness, national economies, and the ability to tackle global challenges.

The Warsaw Declaration has received broad support from scientific communities across Europe.
The current Horizon Europe framework programme for research and innovation has a budget of €95 billion for 2021-2027, making it the largest scientific funding programme in the world.
Later this year, the European Commission will present proposals for research and innovation funding beyond 2027, which will become a key topic in political negotiations as part of the EU’s next multiannual financial framework.
