The European Parliament is calling for more EU funding for future research and innovation programmes.
MEPs this week debated the outcome of the recent 4-day EU Summit which ended on Tuesday morning. EU leaders reached an agreement on the EU’s Covid Recovery fund and the 7-year budget known as the multi-annual financial framework or MFF.
