University of Warwick

The University of Warwick acts as a lobbying entity to support its mission of being a world leader in research and teaching, aiming to influence EU policymaking in fields related to higher education, research funding, innovation, and related societal challenges. As an academic institution, its lobbying efforts focus on representing the interests of the academic and research communities at the EU level. The lobbying activities include participation in public consultations, engagement with EU policymakers, and collaboration with other stakeholders to highlight the importance of research excellence, innovation funding, and educational frameworks that affect European institutions. The lobbying is intended to increase the visibility and advocacy strength of the University of Warwick within the European policy arena, ensuring its research interests are considered, particularly in EU research and innovation programs. The university’s registration under the EU Transparency Register commits it to transparency in its lobbying activities, including disclosure of lobbying expenditures, policy areas of interest, and key personnel involved in lobbying efforts. Since the Transparency Register is a voluntary system designed to enhance transparency and credibility, Warwick’s participation reflects its commitment to ethical and open engagement within the EU polic
