<head><title>FSFE provides input to EC on 80bn EUR R and D funding program</title></head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE has sent input to the European Commission on its upcoming
|
|
seven-year flagship program for research funding. Under the "Horizon
|
|
2020" program, the European Commission will support research and
|
|
development in Europe with 80 billion Euro from 2014 to 2020.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The goal of <a href="/news/2011/news-20111128-02.html">FSFE's
|
|
contribution</a> is to help the EC maximise the social value Europeans
|
|
obtain from the Horizon 2020 program, which is funded out of the taxes
|
|
they have paid.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Key points of FSFE's input:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Distributed systems and cryptography are key areas which should
|
|
receive R and D funding. They will be essential to preserving users'
|
|
freedoms in a world of networked services.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li> Results obtained from publicly funded research should be
|
|
accessible to the public, and should be available for re-use.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Administrative hurdles to obtaining funding under Horizon 2020
|
|
should be lowered, in order to make access easier for small
|
|
companies, organisations, and individuals.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE will continue to engage with the European institutions in order
|
|
to support the development
|
|
of <a href="/news/2011/news-20111128-02.html">Horizon 2020</a>.
