How can you become a friend of EU research and innovation and what are the benefits?
Become a Friend. Are you interested in becoming a Friend of EU Research and Innovation?
Together we can achieve so much more. We team up with inspiring networks, associations, and organisations committed to acting as promoters and key interlocutors of EU Research and Innovation.
Call for Friends
EU Research and Innovation plays a key role in creating growth and jobs and tackle our biggest societal challenges. The role of friends is to help build and inspire the EU research and innovation community to shape the future we want to live in.
Who can apply to become a Friend?
Any organisation or individual can become a Friend of EU Research and Innovation.
Friends represent a resource for the EU research and innovation community. They are organisations or individuals with a significant outreach capacity who are trusted members of their networks. Their core activities are linked to EU research and innovation. They promote the core values of the European Union: human rights: freedom, democracy, equality and rule of law. Finally, they support the priorities of the European Union.
Universities, NGOs, businesses, networks and umbrella organisations in the EU, at national and sub-national level are ideal candidates. Entities outside of the EU can apply if their activities involve EU citizens and/or stakeholders significantly.
What will Friends do?

- help move faster towards a sustainable and prosperous future for people and planet, based on solidarity and respect for shared European values
- advance new knowledge and breakthrough innovation that will drive the green and digital transformations underway in our society
