The president of the EU’s top science funding agency stepped down today, issuing a damning indictment of the bloc’s response to the coronavirus crisis
from its industry drugs partnership, the Innovative Medicines Initiative, to develop treatments and diagnostics.
Ehler said in an emailed statement that Ferrari’s proposal to deviate from the council’s usual approach “was seen more as a window-dressing public relations stand on the coronavirus crisis and it was a contradiction to the legal basis of the ERC, which can and does in many ways contribute to the fight against COVID-19.”
“In time of emergencies people, and institutions, revert to their deepest nature and reveal their true character,” he wrote, later adding: “I am afraid that I have seen enough of both the governance of science, and the political operations at the European Union.”
