5. Europe needs innovation like the air it breathes: EU Commission Executive VP Minzatu13:44[-/+]Категория(?) Автор(?) | France and the EU Commission co-hosted a conference in Paris on May 5 entitled “Choose Europe for science”, with the stated goal of making the EU “a magnet for researchers”, according to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
