ERA Policy Agenda

02INTRODUCTION

Based on the Council Recommendation on a Pact for R&I in Europe and the Council Conclusions on a new ERA governance, the Council establishes an ERA Policy Agenda for a period of three years. The first ERA Policy Agenda, for the 2022-2024 period, was adopted in the form of an Annex to the Council Conclusions on a new governance for the ERA, in November 2021.

The second ERA Policy Agenda for the years 2025-2027 was adopted by the Council in the form of a Council Recommendation on 24 June 2025.

The ERA Policy Agenda operationalises the Pact for R&I in Europe with concrete Structural Policies and Actions with clear and actionable objectives and deliverables, to be implemented at both European and national level.
