On July 2, a new European Parliament will formally take office, with a full portfolio awaiting their attention. At the top of the pile of R&I-related issues will be strategic planning and budgets for the second half of Horizon Europe, the beginning of discussions around the next Framework Programme, and the transition to working with a new Commission. This Science|Business Network event will bring together a select group of newly elected (or re-elected) MEPs for an informal discussion of what lies ahead, followed by a networking reception for Science|Business members and other invited guests.
