EU ministers see science as part of the solution to the crisis and vow to boost investment in R&D

On 7 and 8 February, European research ministers made a commitment in San Sebastián to increase investment in R&D and to promote a culture of trust in scientists. Ministers adopted the Donostia-San Sebastián Declaration, which recognises that fondamental and applied research are part of the solution to the current crisis. The Declaration, which was unanymously approved by European Competitiveness Ministers, and the result of the discussions between Ministers will serve as an input in the preparation of Presidency conclusions in view of the next Competitiveness Council of 1 and 2 March.

The informal meeting on competitiveness will conclude today with the industry ministers focusing on developing a common strategy for the electric vehicle.
