Science Europe, representing 40 leading research funding and research performing organisations across 30 European countries, has issued a position statement calling for a clear and robust framework under the EU’s next research and innovation programme, FP10, to secure the long-term future of EOSC.
In its statement released on 31 March 2026, Science Europe supports the continuation of EOSC as a European Partnership and stresses the need for early clarity on governance and sustainable funding.
