One Hour w/ Europe: What Future for the Framework Programme? Brainstorming - Eszter Lakos

In this edition of our One Hour With Europe webinar, we are thrilled to welcome MEP Eszter Lakos, who will speak about "What future for the next Framework Programme - A brainstorming session."

Europe’s research future hangs in the balance as FP10’s July launch approaches. This pivotal €200B programme must reconcile competing priorities: scientific excellence vs. inclusive participation, civilian innovation vs. defense needs, and open collaboration vs. geopolitical realities.

The webinar dissects these tensions through expert policy analysis—examining AI and quantum’s dual-use potential, SSH’s role in democratic resilience, and the tough budget choices ahead. With FP10’s final form still undecided, these discussions offer critical insight into Europe’s decade-long research strategy.
