EuChemS provides feedback on Horizon 2025
May 6, 2024
The European Commission held a consultation on the development of the Horizon Europe ‘main’ work programme 2025. Participants could address each destination in each of the six clusters that represent the overarching themes for Horizon. In addition, feedback could be given on other Horizon-related initiatives, such as research infrastructures and innovation ecosystems amongst others.
EuChemS reached out to its network to find suitable contributors, and provided feedback on the following topics, relevant to European chemistry:
- Achieving technological leadership for Europe’s open strategic autonomy in raw materials, chemicals and innovative materials
- Consolidation and evolution of research infrastructures, research infrastructures services, and technology development
- Clean environment and zero pollution
- Unlocking the full potential of new tools, technologies and digital solutions for a healthy society
In it’s response, EuChemS highlighted the importance of tackling PFAS while approaching the topic scientifically, and the role of chemistry and energy intensive/chemical industry in achieving climate goals.
