What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted a resolution on the upcoming European Research Area (ERA) Act, which aims to strengthen the EU's research and innovation by addressing structural challenges like fragmentation and uneven performance.

The text calls for a regulation that would make the ERA binding, with targets such as investing at least 3% of EU GDP in R&D by 2030 and improving coordination between member states.

It also asks for a separate proposal to protect freedom of scientific research and for measures to boost private investment and researcher mobility.
