Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Imperial College London has a number of institutional strategic research strategies which engage researchers and staff across the College. We have met and would like to continue to meet with EU officials to discuss the UK's association to Horizon Europe and the role of research-intensive universities like Imperial in driving research and innovation in collaboration with European partners. Institutional strategic priorities and EU policies or proposals of interest include the following: Imperial's Transition to Zero Pollution initiative (EU policies targeted include European Green Deal, and Improving the design of the EU electricity market COM(2023) 148 of 14.3.2023, procedure ref.: 2023/0077(COD).); Imperial's Global Development Hub (EU policies targeted include EU Green Deal, Establishing a European Union Recovery Instrument to support the recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic COM/2020/441 final/2); and Imperial's I-X initiative on AI and data science (EU policies targeted include: Artificial intelligence act COM(2021) 206 of 21.04.2021, procedure ref.: 2021/0106 (COD).
Communication Activities: We have organised in-person meetings in Brussels with various EU ambassadors and other officials, organised alumni and other events in various European locations inviting EU officials to join; published publications on Imperial College London and the ERC as well as showcasing collaborative EU-funded research (see https://www.imperial.ac.uk/about/introducing-imperial/global-imperial/europe/erc10/), and we have organised op-eds and other stories (eg Financial Times, Science Business) with our European partners to highlight important research and innovation work and policies and to express a desired policy position to facilitate world-leading research collaboration.
