PROPOSED NEW EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Motion Text

That this House notes that European investment levels in research and development are significantly lower than in the United States and Japan; supports the European Commission's proposed European Institute of Technology with its role of providing further investment in European universities and research programmes; views this planned initiative as a significant step forward in achieving fulfilment of the Lisbon Agenda; and recommends the new body be located either within the United Kingdom or in one of the new Member States.
