FTP joined 17 other European Technology Platforms (ETPs) to call on the European Commission to reaffirm their support for the strategic role of ETPs in the next EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation succeeding Horizon Europe (FP10).

The statement reminds the role and importance of ETPs as platforms that mobilised a broad range of EU-wide actors and developed and disseminated joint visions and strategic R&I agendas and roadmaps for action at EU and national level. The ETPs ensure that EU research has a high impact and that results are leveraged for the benefit of both industry and society as a whole.
