Advising and supporting EUA – a real impact on science and research

RISG is a long-term strategic group of EUA. Its activity is verified every second year by the EUA Board on the basis of the operation report.

The group has set objectives and the main ones include: 

  • assisting EUA in exploring new strategic directions for research and innovation in order to take a leading role in their development,
  • active participation in driving the research and innovation policy agenda,
  • responding to relevant external events, including reviewing European research and innovation policy developments that are of relevance to universities in Europe, such as Commission initiatives,
  • formulating and developing EUA positions, statements and recommendations on European research and innovation policy initiatives in line with the EUA strategy for approval by the Board and/or Council.
