What they argued
The European Association for the Applied Sciences in Higher Education (ERUASHE) welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop a European Innovation Act. As centres of practice-based research and lifelong learning, applied universities make an important contribution to research and innovation, especially at higher technological and societal readiness levels.
EURASHE welcomes the European Commission's initiative to adopt the European Research Area (ERA) Act in 2026. Strengthening the EU's research and innovation (R&I) ecosystems and enabling the free movement of researchers, knowledge, and technology within the single market is essential to Europe's economy.
EURASHE is the European Association for the Applied Sciences in Higher Education. With more than 100 members, the Association represents over 500 applied orientated higher education institutions in 32 countries within and outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
