League of European Research Universities - About us (387 words) |
 | LERU advocates that specific funds be made available at the European level and be administered by a new, to be erected European Research Council that -in addition to existing regional, national and European funding agencies- will support truly excellent fundamental research. |
| LERU is strongly in favour of an integrated approach involving basic, strategic, and applied research. |
| LERU does not promote the exclusive interest of its members, but seeks to defend the interests of all that are engaged in top-level basic research, and in the training of young scientists able to build and support Europe ’s role as the leading continent of the knowledge-based 21st century world. |
