News archive - Consultation on EU 2020
The EC has launched a public consultation on the development of a new strategy to make the EU a smarter, greener social market. The new EU 2020 strategy will build on and supersede the current Lisbon Strategy, which is due to end in 2010. This consultation is therefore relevant to anyone with an interest in EU programmes and policies. The consultation paper sets out a vision for how the 2020 Strategy will focus on recovery from the crisis and help to prevent a similar crisis in future. It focuses on three thematic objectives: creating value through knowledge (including research and development); empowering people in inclusive societies; and creating a competitive, connected and greener economy. The deadline for responding is 15 January 2010.
The responses received by the EC will be used to develop the formal proposal for the EU 2020 strategy, which is expected to be published early next year. Whilst the consultation covers all EU programmes and policies there is a significant number of references and scope to comment on issues relating to the development of the European Research Area (ERA) and education and innovation policies and programmes. The deadline for responding is 15 January 2010.
