The key topics discussed included Kosovo’s participation in Horizon Europe, measures to stimulate further involvement, and the implementation of reforms related to research and innovation. Additionally, the committee explored opportunities for enhanced collaboration, cooperation with the Joint Research Centre, and Kosovo’s positioning in the European Innovation Scoreboard.
