EURLO & UNICA Research

Established in 2006, the EU Research Liaison Officers (EURLO) & UNICA Research focuses on issues related to research policies, programmes and funding, as well as on the development of the European Research Area (ERA).

The group started as a platform for the exchange of information, good practices, and solutions to overcome common difficulties resulting from the complex EU research funding rules & schemes, but it widened its scope over the years to include broader topics related to the European research landscape. UNICA Research aims now at offering a think tank for EU Research Liaison Officers and Vice-Rectors Research to discuss European research and innovation policy initiatives and strategies. It also acts as a forum for voicing joint recommendations on how to improve the European research policies and funding programmes.

The Group gathers every year at the annual meeting.
