"European Union support for research must be in step with the objectives set out in the Lisbon Strategy. It is for this reason that I gave my wholehearted support to this ambitious report.
A country such as Belgium has a duty to follow the example of certain of its European neighbours who have had the courage to invest in scientific research. In this context, Finland is a good role model. With 3.5% of GDP devoted to research, it has already exceeded the EU’s 3% objective for 2010. The results in Finland speak for themselves. The annual number of new PhD students has doubled in ten years and the country has added an extra 26 000 researchers over the same period (+50%).
We also need to bring about a change in mentality. On average, a young European researcher working in the USA has a research grant 2.5 times higher than in Europe. To stem the brain drain, we need to make Europe more attractive for the top researchers, and also encourage our young people to follow scientific careers.
There is still much to be done in the fields of public health, the environment or high technology."@en1
