Coffee Design: Huckleberry Coffee Roasters
Sprudge Staff March 11, 2016 Design
Coffee Design is proudly sponsored by Savor Brands, your boost in coffeedence through maximizing designs in packaging, sustainability and tech.
It was refreshing, exhilarating, and just downright nice to chat with the folks at Denver's Huckleberry Coffee this week. So catchy is their enthusiasm, so deep is their connection to their branding's design, that you just can't help but be swept up in how excited these folks are about where they are as a coffee brand, as expressed through design.
These new bags, launched at the beginning of the year, convey Huckleberry Coffee's "progression, growth, and increased comfort with who we are." You can say the same about the interview below, one of our favorites in Coffee Design history.
As told to Sprudge by Mark Mann and Koan Goedman.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your company?
We started roasting coffee in 2011, and have since grown into a coffee company with 2 retail cafes, a thriving and growing list of wholesale partners… and it's all held together by the best damn staff on the planet. Back in the early days, our beers consumed to roasted coffee ratio was about a 1:1, but since then we've put our adult pants on and grown the roasting to about 1,500 lbs/wk and it's available nationwide via our web store and cafe partners.
(FYI, the beer to coffee ratio is no longer 1:1.)
When did the coffee package design debut?
The new bags launched in January 2016. Two years ago, we rebranded our OG kraft bags with fully custom poly stand-up pouches. It was a big step and people loved them! Much to our own surprise, we blew through those 25,000 bags in about two years. We spent most of 2015 designing the new bags and we are so stoked they are now out in people's hands!
Who designed the package?
As a company, we are all about collaboration, and the bag design was no exception. It started in-house. We (Koan and Mark) knew what elements to carry over from the previous bag, what design additions we wanted to introduce, and what improvements we needed for a production efficiency. Once we reached a point of having a general vision, we handed the design assets over to our homeboys Travis LaDue and Scott Hill at Studio Mast, a design firm in Denver. We love those fellows! They took our thoughts, ideas, and suggestions and translated them into a refined final design.
Please describe the look in your own words.
In a larger sense and to give some context to our thinking, the look of the bag represents Huckleberry's progression, growth, and increased comfort with who we are. We started with hand-stamped, coffee-stained kraft bags and tags in 2011. For bag v.2, we had the pleasure of working with Mackey Saturday (who has since gone on to redesign the Instagram logo, and now works for Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv), who created our logo and encouraged us to be creative with colors and patterns. That stand-up pouch bag was a huge success! People loved it and our brand has gotten so much traction in faraway markets from it. Starting out with a bang was radical, but it also meant the new bag had to really be a home run; it would have been easy to introduce a bag that was perceived as a step backwards design-wise.
When it came to brainstorming the new bag, we knew we wanted to represent our company values as much as we could. The coffee industry, as a whole, creates a lot of trash, so we wanted to go a more environmentally responsible direction. The Pacific Bag Biotre bag are really the only option out there that hit the mark, so that decision was made for us. We transitioned away from the tall, unusual shape of the stand-up pouches because the flat bottom, more traditional shape made our production run more efficiently and made shipping to all our various partners much easier, regardless of whether it was to our friends at Seventh Flag in Austin, to Whole Foods throughout Colorado or to Methodical Coffee in Greenville.
That being said, we didn't want to recreate the wheel entirely. We wanted to build on the momentum created two years ago, and pay homage to those beautiful bags. The logo stayed the same (because it's dope), but we applied it in reverse. We are excited to extend our brand in this small, subtle way. We continued to rely on a heavy pattern, albeit refined and streamlined from previous bags. The new pattern is part pattern illusions and part a nod to the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
We really strive to be an approachable coffee company. Our coffee offerings always have something for everyone, regardless of where they are on their coffee journey. The new bags are an extension of that! We think the look of the new bag does a nice job of inviting people into our brand. It gives them something new to absorb and familiar to hold.
There is always temptation to do something completely different with a redesign, but we are obsessed with classic, timeless styles and positive, approachable attitudes. We hope everyone enjoys the bags as much as we are proud of them.
What coffee information do you share on the package? What's the motivation behind that?
As much as we could, without being overwhelming. On one side of the bag, we share our story. We hope it gives people a sense of who we are and why we do what we do. We hold a deep love for home coffee brewers (coffee nerds with scales and eyeballers with coffee scoops are both welcome with us!), so on the other side of the bag we added basic brew ratios people can start with.
Each bag features a compostable sticker, too. In fact, the stickers are made from recycled stone…which is totally crazy, right? Stone stickers! We might not have hoverboards yet, but we have stone stickers! The stickers share origin and region details, tasting notes, technical coffee information that we all like to see (varietal, processing, etc.) We think the coffee we source is very tasty, and we want to pay homage to as many of the players as possible without inundating our consumers with a ridiculous amount of information.
Where is the bag manufactured?
Just as before, we worked with Pacific Bags from Seattle, WA. They are great and we like working with them. As far as where they're actually manufactured, we're pretty sure it's in Taiwan.
What kind of package is it?
The package is a 12-ounce Biotre bag with a recycled stone sticker and one-way valve.
Is the package recyclable/compostable? Any other pro-environment info about the package you want to share?
After removing the tin tie and one-way valve, this package is fully biodegradable. In case anyone forgets, we threw a little cheeky reminder on the bottom of the bag. Can't take ourselves too seriously, right? We worked with a Denver sticker company to print a recycled and eco-friendly sticker made from recycled stone. You read that correctly… recycled stone. Also, not entirely related to the bag, but our roasting and production facility are 100% powered by wind, so that's pretty cool and we're excited about it.

Document management forms part of a company's daily activities and therefore cannot be handled independently.
As iBPM Suites have integrated document management, the processes control the activities involving the documents therefore the processes handle the documentation and ensure optimal document management.
Thus, some iBPMS such as AuraPortal can optimize the entire document lifecycle: Capture and Creation, Storage, Flows, Access and Elimination.
Capture. The documents which come from External Users (customers, suppliers, etc. who maintain a digital relationship with the entity and can therefore participate in the process flows) will have been introduced by the External Users via a Start Message or Task, and will be automatically integrated in the system, hence requiring no work from the entity.
The only work that may be required is the digitization of paper documents.
Creation. The majority of the internally-generated documents are created in the context of a specific activity (hence will be included in a process), and will be created automatically by the system itself (using sophisticated templates and actual data from the process) hereby achieving substantial savings in times and costs.
This does not only involve the creation of simple forms or letters, but the generation of any type of document, regardless of its length or complexity.
Storage. The captured or created documents will automatically be stored in the processes (electronic file) and/or in the corresponding libraries. This storage, which can be extremely complex due to the vast amount of control elements and advanced searches provided by the BPMS, is automatic and complies with the stipulated Rules for each specific process class.
It is known as "Virtual Intelligent Storage". In AuraPortal this system is extremely effective as it generates a multidimensional matrix system indexed by all the criteria used to control, search, manage or eliminate each document.
Flow, Access and Elimination. When designing the process tasks in which some Users may wish to carry out actions with certain documents (queries, modifications, approvals, elimination, etc.), the necessary documents will have been included in the tasks.
Thus, it eliminates the need to search for documents as most will be readily available for the authorized task performer to consult, modify, approve or eliminate.


Leave the lobsters in the freezer for 20 minutes to make them inactive and easier to handle.
To prepare the poaching liquid, pour a gallon of water into a large pot and throw in the thyme, parsley, bay leaves and peppercorns.
Sprinkle the paprika as well as red pepper flakes into it and squeeze out the juice of 4 lemon halves into it.
Throw in those lemon halves and sprinkle enough salt into the pot to make the mixture heavily salted.
Cook the mixture over moderate heat until it starts boiling and bring it down to a simmer.
To kill the lobster, push the tip of the knife right through shell at the middle, dorsal part of the head.
Twist the tail off from the body of each lobster and drop it into boiling mixture.
Poach them for 3 minutes and twist off the large claws to add them to the poaching liquid.
Cook them further for 8 minutes and drain them out into a bowl; set aside to cool them completely.
To make the aioli, dump the egg yolks into a food processor, along with a dash of hot sauce, mustard and vinegar.
Throw in the garlic clove and sprinkle 1 ½ tsp salt into it.
Blitz them thoroughly into a smooth paste and drizzle the canola oil into it gradually in a thin yet steady flow, while the processor is still running, until all of it is incorporated into the mixture to form a thick and creamy sauce.
Spoon it into a bowl and keep aside.
Remove the shells of the lobsters and pull out the meat from them.
Remove any thin cartilage, sticking out from the meat and chop the meat into bite-sized chunks.
Toss them into a large salad bowl and throw in the celery, chives and tarragon.
Pour in ¼ cup of the prepared aioli and toss them all together until well coated with the dressing.
Spoon it onto the lettuce leaves and garnish with a sprinkling of extra chopped chives on top.
Serve right away alongside lemon wedges.

The penal impact of community punishment in England and Wales: a conceptual and empirical study
Hayes, David John (2015) The penal impact of community punishment in England and Wales: a conceptual and empirical study. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
This thesis examines two research questions: firstly, how does community punishment impact upon the lives of those subjected to it; and secondly, to what extent is that impact affected by the relationship between the offender and her Probation Service supervisor? It considers these questions in both conceptual and empirical terms by outlining, and then deploying, the analytical framework of penal impact, an approach to penal severity that uses pain as a metric by which to judge the suitability of punitive interventions. By evaluating sentence severity in terms of penal impact, one can examine both the types of pain that follow from a particular sentence, as well as their relative magnitude, building up a qualitative comparison of different impositions of community punishment.
However, because pain is an inherently subjective concept, the evaluation of penal impact requires empirical data. This study therefore explores the findings of interviews with nine offenders and 11 supervision officers within a single Probation Trust. The data drawn from these interviews indicate a broad range of pains that vary considerably in their intensity and incidence from offender to offender. The study explores the question of the extent to which these pains can be associated with the formal process of punishment, the extent to which they can be considered punitive in a retributive sense, and the means by which such pains can be compared between subjective experiences. It concludes that the penal impact of community punishment in England and Wales is considerable, and goes substantially beyond the relatively �soft� image suggested by a narrow, liberty-based conception of sentence severity. The process of supervision has a substantial effect upon the pains felt � and therefore, upon the sentence�s overall impact. The implications of these conclusions for sentencing policy in England and Wales are discussed, and avenues of further research are identified.

The patch that we had scheduled for 3/1 was delayed and server maintenance was conducted instead. February was a hectic month, and there were a lot of different aspects that we wanted to work on. We delayed patches so we could address bugs and other issues for the upcoming content. We have a lot of ideas planned for Dark and Light, some of which were mentioned in last week's issue of the Archos Herald. Here we have the latest Monthly Development Timeline for the month of March.
As you can see, the new PvE experience has been pushed to the end of this month. The three patches beforehand are to address bugs that are still in the game, and to optimize content already in the game. We have a new community event planned for the week before and leading up to the patch on 3/29, and we'll have more information on that event in the near future.

Alex Lindsay's pick of the week on MacBreak Weekly 483 is HDR 360 Bracket Pro from Brad Herman for the Ricoh Theta camera. This app gives you a lot of control over images you take with the Ricoh Theta, and is most useful for visual effects, video game development, and virtual reality. For instance, if you wanted to build a tone mapped image of a scene and put it into a virtual reality headset, the app will build those images. If you're a visual effects artist, you can build really good reflection maps.
This app requires a Ricoh Theta 360 camera, which can be found on Amazon for $249.99. The app is for professional use, and is priced accordingly as well at $49.99 in the iOS App Store.

/**
 * This tokenizer uses regex pattern matching to construct distinct tokens

 *

 *
"pattern" is the regular expression.

 *
"group" says which group to extract into tokens.

 *

 *

 * group=-1 (the default) is equivalent to "split".  In this case, the tokens will
 * be equivalent to the output from (without empty tokens):
 * {@link String#split(java.lang.String)}
 *

 *

 * Using group >= 0 selects the matching group as the token.  For example, if you have:

 *

 *  pattern = \'([^\']+)\'
 *  group = 0
 *  input = aaa 'bbb' 'ccc'
 *

 * the output will be two tokens: 'bbb' and 'ccc' (including the ' marks).  With the same input
 * but using group=1, the output would be: bbb and ccc (no ' marks)
 *
NOTE: This Tokenizer does not output tokens that are of zero length.

What are the Travel Guidelines for Nassau, Bahamas?
All visitors to The Bahamas, including those traveling between islands, must apply for a Bahamas Travel Health Visa at travel.gov.bs. The safety and well-being of all visitors and residents to The Bahamas remains a top priority for the government. Therefore, before planning any trip, it is highly recommended to check the most recent travel restrictions, considering that changes may apply.
When is the Best Time to Go to Nassau?
The best time to visit Nassau is during the peak season, which runs from mid-December to mid-April. Though the weather is excellent throughout the year, with temperatures hardly falling below 60 degrees, the islands are within the hurricane zone, so storms may be a risk from June to November.
Getting Around Nassau - easy or not?
The best way to getting around Nassau is to rent a car. There are a few rental firms near Prince George Wharf and on Paradise Island and at the airport, including Dollar, Avis, Thrifty, and Budget. Though they are rather pricey, ranging from $55 to $110 each day.
There's also the issue of driving on the left side of the road. However, if you're staying at a large resort and want to spend most of your time there, taking a taxi to off-site attractions is a more cost-effective option than renting a car.
In the Bahamas, cycling isn't prevalent, and it's not safe in Nassau's congested streets.
How safe is Nassau, Bahamas?
While there's no need to be too cautious, it's a good idea to keep valuables and cash in your room and keep a watch on your surroundings. Pickpockets and ATM frauds are expected in downtown Nassau, so keep your eyes peeled.
Having some of the most luxurious resorts globally, the island offers a peaceful, relaxing, and idyllic vacation to those who want only the best.

THROWBACK THURS: Broken Social Scene – 'You Forgot It in People'
Posted on August 21, 2014 August 21, 2014 by Jon
Along with myself and ketchup chips (yes), Broken Social Scene's 2002 release You Forgot It in People is high in the running for the best thing to ever come out of Canada. The big band Arts & Crafts collective's sophomore release unveiled their notoriously huge roster long before Arcade Fire or even The Polyphonic Spree got around to it, boasting talents like Leslie Feist and Emily Haines along with frontrunners Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning.
It's a hard album to describe considering the sonic and tonal shifts the album manages to maneuver through. At once it recalls Yo La Tengo, Nick Drake, and a bit of Interpol but the diversity of these comparisons paint an incomplete picture of the album, and serve only to show the variety on offer. Make no mistake, the songs should be consumed together to be fully appreciated, lest the marked shift in styles and tone lose their weight.
A major inflection point occurs towards the end of the album's first single "Cause=Time," as the horn section's languid outro veers the record from catchy rock into more solemn territory. The dour last half of this record, in stark contrast to its opening, presents what are arguably its strongest tracks – chief among them being the diptych of "Late Night Bedroom Rock for the Missionaries and Shampoo Suicide."
Whereas the first half of the album sports spritely vocals and plucky bass lines, by the time BSS have made it through the eighth track they seem to be grappling with a weightier sense of both mood and rhythm. Between the plaintive vocals lacing "Shampoo Suicide," the funereal pianos treading through "Lover's Spit," and the dirge-like melodies of "I'm Still Your Fag," the record seems to somberly redden and drop away like the last weeks of summer.
This album came out when I was too young to understand it but I listened to it anyways. Eventually, I grew into and experienced what these songs were trying to express and found myself returning to it time and again. You Forgot It in People endures because in its honesty and richness, it has the unique ability to remain consistently evocative without subsisting on mere nostalgia.
Stream the album in its entirety on Spotify.

While you are dealing with a bout of diarrhea, you might wonder what the right foods are to eat that will be safe and calming for a digestion system that is in chaos. You don't want to prevent food completely, however need foods that may assist slow things down.
The fundamental dull BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) is not the diet of choice for digestive tract issues as it is too limiting. Plus, if your diarrhea is brought on by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the BRAT diet might not be perfect (specifically the applesauce).
If your diarrhea is severe or lasts more than two days, it may be a sign of an underlying problem that you ought to talk with your doctor about. Here are foods that can be easier on your digestion tract.
Bananas are bland and quickly digested, making them a good option for settling your upset digestion system. As a perk, the high level of potassium in bananas assists to change electrolytes that may be lost by severe bouts of diarrhea.
Bananas are likewise abundant in pectin, a soluble fiber that assists to take in liquid in the intestines and therefore move stool along efficiently. This can help both in decreasing diarrhea and decreasing constipation. Eat a banana or two to assist restore balance to your digestive system.
Plain white rice is easily digested and is high in carbohydrates. Rice is likewise binding, which means that it can assist to tighten your loose stool. While you are having diarrhea, eat your rice plain or cooked in chicken broth. Avoid spicy, fatty, oily, or dairy-based sauces as those aren't suggested when you have diarrhea.
Although whole wheat is usually a much healthier alternative, you're much better off consuming white bread and other white flour items such as pancakes and pasta when you're handling a bout of diarrhea. White bread has very little fiber, so it's simple to digest. As you don't want to have too much fat or sugar when you have diarrhea, go simple on the butter, margarine, honey, jam, or syrup. Also, prevent sugar-free items that use sugar alcohols. The same holds true for pasta, a dab of olive oil or butter is probably fine, however avoid sauces that are spicy, oily, or milk-based.
Potatoes are a good comfort food option and are also high in potassium. While the skins have great deals of nutrition, you ought to avoid them when you have diarrhea, so peeled potatoes are best. Steam, microwave, or boil your potatoes. A little salt for taste is great, but avoid excessive butter, margarine, sour cream, or gravy. A large quantity of fat and oil might aggravate your sensitive system and add to increased digestive cramping.
Due to its boring nature, steamed white meat chicken is a quickly digested source of protein. This supplies a relatively safe method to get some nutrients into your body. Keep it basic, however, and avoid including oils or butter when you prepare the chicken. If you don't have a steamer or aren't confident about steaming a chicken safely, you can bake or broil the chicken instead. Just make sure to baste it regularly with water or chicken broth, so it does not dry out. Lean cuts of turkey, beef, pork, and fish are also appropriate.
You'll wish to avoid a lot of dairy products during acute diarrhea episodes. However, yogurt is an exception to this rule. Try to find yogurt that contains live or active bacterial cultures, or more particularly Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. Check out the label carefully and select a brand that does not have a high sugar level and does not consist of artificial sweeteners. Both of those can add to extreme intestinal tract gas and loose stools. If you have lactose intolerance, you will wish to try to find lactose-free varieties.
Your granny had it right — chicken soup benefits whatever ails you, consisting of diarrhea. Drinking soup can be extremely relaxing, and chicken broth includes nutrients and electrolytes that can help to change those that might have been lost by your duplicated bouts of diarrhea. The warm broth will provide a little extra comfort for your sore stomach.
These comforting hot breakfast cereals ready choices, plus you can also enjoy cornflakes. Oatmeal has soluble fiber, as might be suggested as a bulking representative for your stool when you have diarrhea. Remember that you want to restrict any sugar, honey, or dairy items you may usually have with hot or cold cereal. You can add a banana to the oatmeal or cereal to sweeten it and gain from its qualities too.
Veggies offer important nutrition and you need to include them in your diet while you have diarrhea. Nevertheless, you will wish to peel them, remove seeds, and cook them. Carrots, green beans, beets, acorn squash, and peeled zucchini are some good choices. If you haven't tried microwaving or steaming carrots, you'll be amazed at how sweet and tasty they are. You also have to prevent veggies that are likely to cause gas or are more difficult to digest, consisting of broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, peas, green leafy veggies, and corn.
You lose electrolytes (salts) when you have diarrhea and it can be useful to change them. Pretzels are made with white flour and baked and have salt, so they are a good choice. You might likewise use electrolyte-replacement sports beverages like Gatorade.
A dull diet doesn't offer adequate dietary variety to be healthy long term. When you start to feel much better, and your stomach begins to settle, you reduce back into a less restrictive meal plan, specifically taking pleasure in a wide range of vegetables, fruit, and entire grains. Don't buy a combination pizza right away– your digestive system may require time to recover. Rather, attempt soups, steamed vegetables, and white meat such as chicken or turkey.
It's not enjoyable to sustain a periodic bout of diarrhea. With these food recommendations, you can choose that will not further distress your gastrointestinal system.
If your diarrhea lasts for more than two days, if you have a fever, are dehydrated, have blood or pus in your stool, or have severe pain, see your doctor immediately. If you find that you are dealing with duplicated bouts of diarrhea, it might indicate an underlying condition that you should speak to your doctor about.

EU members debate whether, and how much, to open Horizon to the world
Not all aspects of international science cooperation are to the liking of researchers and policy makers in central and eastern Europe. They want to see the innovation gap fixed before the EU spends more money abroad
By Florin Zubașcu
Data from the regional innovation scoreboard by the European Commission shows a significant R&D performance gap between EU member states
Before the EU further opens its research and innovation funding programme to countries all over the world, researchers and policy makers in central and eastern Europe call for help strengthening national systems in poorer member states which are lagging behind.
"To paraphrase [US President] Donald Trump, let's make the European science great again in Europe first and then open to third countries," Mateusz Gaczyński, deputy director for innovation and development at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland told Science|Business.
Poland has recently passed a reform of its research and innovation system that helped create a network of applied research institutes and a dedicated agency to attract home expat researchers, in a bid to stop brain drain and boost performance in Horizon Europe.
Gaczyński acknowledges that without opening to third countries EU will not be able to make its science and innovation system more competitive globally, but wants the EU to focus on European problems before looking further. "First things should come first," he said.
This view has been echoed, with different emphases, by researchers and academics elsewhere in central and eastern Europe. For the most part, they agree the EU should be thinking about ambitious investment in research across the world as part of future planning, but say the innovation gap between rich and poor member states should be fixed before venturing further outside its borders.
For Marcin Pałys, rector of the University of Warsaw, it is important for Europe to be involved in international scientific cooperation. "We must not isolate ourselves from the rest of the world," he told Science|Business.
But there are caveats. Reciprocal cooperation that entails, for example, Australia or Japan opening their labs to EU researchers is okay. Likewise, the association model proposed by the European Commission, in which third countries can contribute to the EU research budget in order to get access to funding calls, is also acceptable for central and eastern European countries.
But Pałys is worried about "financing that [results in a] net flow of money from EU funds to third countries."
Another point of concern for Pałys is that international cooperation could affect the cohesion inside European research, if EU-funded projects help countries like Canada or the US suck up more talented researchers from central and eastern Europe, a region which is already affected by the migration of talent to richer countries in Europe.
Poorly organised national systems
The EU has the largest civilian research programme in the world, but the distribution of funds among member states is biased towards richer countries with strong national science systems. Researchers in countries where national systems are poorly organised and funded feel the EU programmes should also work towards reducing that bias, in addition to promoting scientific excellence.
"I do not feel it is ethical to move money outside the EU, until the within EU discrepancies are halted," Andras Báldi, a researcher at the Centre for Ecological Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences told Science|Business.
Báldi argues the EU should work outside its borders to achieve its geopolitical ambitions in climate change and artificial intelligence, but it should avoid funding projects that are entirely outside of the EU. "That is not very good," he said.
Others say cooperation complimenting European research and innovation should be encouraged, especially in projects where European members take the lead. International cooperation in Horizon Europe "could be seen as a development programme for European good practices, in areas of the world where US leadership is retracting," said Markus Dettenhofer, director of the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) in Brno, Czech Republic.
Dettenhofer believes the EU should "assume the role of world leader" in research and innovation.
It won't be easy for policy makers in Brussels to find the right balance between these complaints and the ambition to have a larger footprint abroad. But, according to Pałys, the EU could first set up a pilot programme for third countries, with a limited budget. That way, the EU can figure out how these collaborations work in practice, "without facing the risks of diverting big money to third countries," said Pałys.
Another idea would be to introduce an offset mechanism, which would require third countries receiving money from the EU research programme to invest in the EU. According to Pałys, this system has already been used successfully in defence cooperation. For example, if a country like Romania buys military equipment from the US, then US companies are expected to invest in Romania.
Europe first?
During Horizon Europe negotiations last year, Romanian MEP and Horizon Europe co-rapporteur Dan Nica said the motto of the programme should be "Europe first".
He has since toned down this approach, but now that budget cuts seem to be imminent, Nica said the EU will probably dial down its "remarkable" ambition to fund research projects throughout the world. These ambitions, Nica said, "Will have to be reduced and prioritise projects coming from member states."
Nica made the comments earlier this month, as rumours of difficult budget negotiations among member states began circulating in Brussels. Some countries want a slimmer budget overall, while others lament the European Commission's plan to shift money from cohesion policy and agriculture towards science and technology.
But not everyone agrees with this approach. According to Igor Papič, rector of the University of Ljubljana, the argument that Horizon Europe should diminish its international outlook and focus on the innovation gap does not hold and efforts should be made to preserve the proposed research and innovation budget as a whole.
"The much bigger concern for me is the new attempt that we should drastically reduce the budget for Horizon Europe," said Papič. "[International cooperation] is not an obstacle to fixing our problems."
Research and innovation programmes could be badly hit by the budget tussle. German MEP Christian Ehler and Horizon Europe co-rapporteur was the first to announce a potential €12 billion cut from the European Commission's proposed €94 billion for the next EU research and innovation programme.
