EU: Scientists and NGOs slam Commission's Research funding plans (Press Release, pdf) and Public Research should benefit Society, not Big Business - An Open Letter on the Common Strategic Framework for EU Research and Innovation Funding (pdf) signed by ninety-eight civil society and research organisations, including Statewatch, from across Europe:

"In an open letter sent today to the President and Members of the European Commission as well as the European Parliament and the EU Member states, 98 civil society and research organisations from across Europe warn that the Commission's draft proposals for the next Research funding framework (2014-2020) fail to address the real challenges faced by European societies and call for a research agenda geared towards the needs of society and the environment rather than those of big business."
