LERU’s statement to advance the impact of research and innovation for the benefit of our societies in Europe.

The League of European Research Universities (LERU) Rectors’ Assembly calls upon European institutions, national governments and research funders to support research & innovation in European universities, linking us together in a common mission to benefit people across the world.

The leaders of twenty-three globally leading research universities across the continent of Europe come together in this statement to articulate the power and urgency of collaboration.

A vital first step in this support is the full association of Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as other like-minded and innovative non-EU nations, to the European framework program for research & innovation, Horizon Europe, as an utmost priority.
