Position Papers

Read our response to the Public consultation on the present and future of the Horizon Europe programme. This consultation aims to collect the views of research institutions, businesses, consumer organisations, as well as non-governmental organisations, public authorities, and other stakeholders on the European Union Framework Programmes for Research & Innovation, Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.

Orgalim represents Europe’s technology industries – key players in the innovation of Europe’s economy and essential drivers of the continent’s twin green and digital transitions. This position paper is Orgalim’s contribution to the shaping of the European Innovation Agenda.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Europe's competitiveness. Although it is difficult at present to know how lasting and far-reaching the effects will be, it is already clear that the outbreak of COVID-19 has radically changed the conditions for conducting business and has revealed vulnerabilities in existing value and supply chains. On the other hand, the crisis has shown the power of innovation, technology, and the importance of having competitive and resilient industrial companies.

Orgalim has responded to the European Commission's consultation on the implementation strategy for Horizon Europe, emphasising our key message that industrial collaborative research should be at the heart of the future EU R&I Framework Programme.

Following provisional agreement by the European Parliament and Council on the Horizon Europe legislative package, the European Commission has held a ‘co-design’ consultation to invite stakeholder feedback on shaping future investment priorities for the EU research and innovation funding programme.
