Background
UKRO has published guidance materials and explainers in the run-up to the adoption of the 2025 Work Programme.
These include an analysis of Commissioner Zaharieva’s mission letter, illustrating the EU’s R&I policy priorities for 2025. UKRO has also published an analysis of von der Leyen’s political priorities to explain how these will impact the EU’s R&I policy in the coming years.
