"We definitely attract the best players from academia now with the ERC," says Sylvia Schwaag Serger, a research and innovation specialist at Lund University in Sweden. But other parts of the programme haven't attracted the 'best players' from industry, she says. The need for effective collaboration between academia and industry is paramount for the success of future research endeavors and innovation initiatives in the European Union.
"There needs to be much more private investment in research," says Conny Aerts, an astrophysicist at KU Leuven. "This is very low in a European context compared to other continents." Aerts emphasizes the critical need for increased private sector engagement and funding to bolster research and innovation capabilities in Europe, ensuring the continent remains competitive on a global scale.
