Proud promoter. Well done Gaia Zanell presenting our data on Complement in IBD @fibrotarget.bsky.social

A stylised image on a dark blue background, with "€1 invested in research," alongside a hand wearing a light blue glove holding a stylised euro. On the right-hand side is the text, "€11 in economic growth by 2045," with another gloved hand placing a pile of stylised coins. In the bottom right corner sits the emblem of the European Union.

Every €1 the EU invests in research can yield up to €11 in growth by 2045.

With €43 billion from Horizon Europe, we’ve backed 15,000+ projects – from antibiotics to the transition.

This year we’ll put in over €7.3 billion to meet Europe’s challenges.

For everyone to benefit ↓

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu
