EMS joins European campaign calling for stronger investment in research and innovation

The European Mathematical Society (EMS) is among 29 European organisations initiating the “Fund Research, Development and Innovation. Fund the Future” campaign, calling for stronger and more sustainable investment in European research.

As discussions continue on the European Union's next long-term budget, the campaign calls on European leaders to commit at least €200 billion to Horizon Europe for 2028–2034, with protected and predictable funding to support research, development and innovation across Europe.

The joint statement highlights the importance of research and innovation in addressing Europe's scientific, technological and societal challenges. It also emphasises the role of Horizon Europe in supporting international collaboration, scientific excellence and opportunities for the next generation of researchers.

For the mathematical community, sustained investment in research is essential for advancing fundamental knowledge, supporting international scientific cooperation and enabling new generations of mathematicians to develop their careers. Mathematics also provides the foundations for progress across numerous scientific and technological fields.

Through its participation in this joint initiative, the EMS joins organisations representing researchers, universities, scientific societies and industry in calling for a strong and ambitious European research programme.

The campaign invites researchers and members of the wider scientific community to add their names to the joint statement and strengthen the collective voice of European research.
