What they argued
The Commission's renewed initiative to develop a long-term strategy for the ERA is an important opportunity for Europe to enhance its research and technology infrastructures. The strategy must ensure that policies align with the values of public interest, democratic governance, and fairness in working conditions for researchers.
ETUCE, representing researchers and academics trade unions across Europe, welcomes the plan to put the ERA objectives into EU law. The ERA should make the free movement of researchers, knowledge and technology real, and it should keep researchers safe. The Act shall protect research as a public good.
The European Trade Union Committee for Education (ETUCE), the European Region of Education International, is a federation of 120 education trade unions in 48 countries, representing in total 4,9 million members all over Europe.
