📢Depuis son investiture le 20 janvier, Donald Trump a pris des décisions qui vont sérieusement nuire à la recherche scientifique aux États-Unis, avec des répercussions mondiales, notamment sur les collaborations internationales.

“ERC succeeds because it’s different. Its simple, tailored procedures allow Europe’s best researchers to thrive. Bureaucratic processes designed for other programmes should not be imposed on it.”
@marialep.bsky.social spoke up for an independent ERC with a doubled budget today @europarl.europa.eu
📜It was the 80's: there was no internet, no €uros, no smartphones, & the #Erasmus Programme didn't exist. #UCLouvain’s IRO was celebrating its 20th & decided to invite other universities…
That’s how the Coimbra Group started its 40 Years of Innovation! We'll celebrate it through 2025!🎉
