Europe must invest more in research and education

According to Rolf Tarrach, president of the European University Association, investment in research and education brings the highest European added value, while being the most effective long-term commitment.

It is not only about investment, but also about efficiency: “Research and innovation are a European public good. Investing in them creates synergies, economies of scale and a very high return. We know that every euro invested in research and innovation generates on average €13 in value added for business.”
