Pubblicato il 02/08/2013Read time: 1 min

The Italian Minister for Education, University and Research, Maria Chiara Carrozza, appointed the national representatives for the Horizon 2020 Committee, with the aim of preparing our country to the new Framework Programme for European Research (2014-2020).

According to the Minister, an active and continuous presence of our representatives is necessary to get a quote of the funding that, at least, equals the Italian budgetary contribute to the Programme – something that did not happen in the FP7. Also, the whole national systems of research, innovation and of course politics have to offer their support. The Minister for Education, University and Research will be on the frontline in Bruxelles, to highlight the role of country with such a remarkable scientific and industrial tradition as Italy.

The fourteen Italian members of the Committee (seven men and seven women) are thus called to represent Italy in Europe, within their specific fields of expertise.

On November 9, the European Council approved the Nature Restoration Law, a regulation for the restoration of ecosystems. A much-hoped-for victory that leaves a bitter taste: the adopted regulation emerges from more than a year of negotiations that have significantly weakened it in substance. The risk is that the objectives lose their concreteness in implementation.

On November 9, the European Council, the body defining the EU's policy directions, approved the Nature Restoration Law, one of the four main pillars of the European biodiversity strategy for 2030. A great achievement, yet leaving a bit of bitterness, considering the approved regulation was significantly weakened compared to the original.
