In the current challenging times, let's try to make visible "the invisible bridge".
Many thanks to @stmassoc.bsky.social for the opportunity!

Two “away days” for welcoming new Board members, and to thank colleagues which term finished recently.
It has been a great opportunity for an organized handover between teams and Board champions, and for “looking beyond the next corner”, in the year we are reviewing our strategy.

and (c) do it together! 👇🏻

To ensure excellence & stability, and to protect the independence of @erc.europa.eu and #EUeic, #FP10 must be preserved as a stand-alone programme, with a ring-fenced budget and clear governance.
