The Commission has released the 2022 edition of the Science, Research and Innovation Performance (SRIP) report, analysing the EU's innovation performance in a global context. It provides insights into how research and innovation policies can help build an inclusive, sustainable, competitive and resilient Europe by leveraging the essential role of research and innovation as a source of prosperity and as a catalyst for change. The report also highlights how the coronavirus pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine call for Europe to reinforce its preparedness to quickly and adequately react to new, unexpected challenges.
