EU French presidency: Valérie Pécresse?s three priorities

Higher Education and Research Minister Valérie Pécresse has set three main objectives for the French presidency of the European Union:

- better coordinate the European research area to accelerate research on the major societal issues (aging of the population, energy, food and dietary habits, climate change, information society);
- make Europe a true space power.
