Great discussion with science minister Robert Plaga about the new Horizon Europe and the upcoming Innovation Act and ERA Act. I also met the leadership of the Czech Academy of Sciences - impressed with its success in ERC and its drive in bringing knowledge to the market. https:// 528 views · 11 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 03 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

@EZaharievaEU 21 winners moved from the US and Canada, and Canada never gets its own number in the stats. We don't offer €1.5M grants or lab startup packages. The brain drain isn't a trend, it's funding math. 55 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 03 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

At the CEE AI Summit: happy to meet so many inspiring founders shaping Europe’s AI future. Europe has the ingredients to lead: ambitious startups, world-class talent and a strong industrial base. By 2027, Horizon Europe will invest almost €11 billion in AI. (1/2) https://t.co/l5x 722 views · 13 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies 03 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

21 researchers from US and Canada are relocating to Europe. They are among the winners of the 2026 European Research Council Starting Grants. We are making Europe the place where the next generation of researchers can do their best work. 🇪🇺🔬 https://t.co/YhvJmIvZJB 3.3K views · 45 likes · 10 reposts · 2 replies 03 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Met Jordan & Cian Adams, The FTD Brothers Foundation. Their story shows why Europe must go further: more investment in early screening & real data-sharing between researchers. Thank you, MEP @ninacarberry, and to you both, Jordan and Cian. https://t.co/mnLJscS8Bd 828 views · 11 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 02 Sep 2026 · Open on X →
