Wales needs to be more ‘streetwise’ in accessing EU research funding according to National Assembly Committee report

A National Assembly for Wales Committee called for improvements to the way Wales secures funding for research and innovation from the European Union in a report published in July 2012.

During its inquiry into legislative proposals for a new European Union research and innovation funding programme, called ‘Horizon 2020’, which will succeed the current Framework Seven Research Programme (FP7), the Enterprise and Business Committee heard that Wales is 'under performing' in securing EU research funding.
