Their participation show EUNICE\u2019s growing influence in shaping a stable Europe\u2019s research and higher education landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Von der Leyen stressed Europe&rsquo;s dedication to academic freedom as well as scientific excellence, citing\u00a0breakthroughs from EU-funded projects like mRNA vaccines and microchip innovation. She announced new funding of \u20ac500 million (2025\u20132027),\u00a0a new chair program to attract international scientists, and a \u201cflash COFUND\u201d pilot granting \u20ac1 million for each university alliance for rapid collaborative projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new way of managing research<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The EUNICE delegation welcomed the initiative as a meaningful step toward reinforcing Europe&rsquo;s leadership in science.<\/p>\n<p>Dubois underlines the fundamental values at stake: \u201cScience is by nature universal.
