AI take
The significance here lies less in the meeting itself than in its continuation: a standing bilateral channel on research and innovation is being maintained and reviewed at director-general level, which matters for institutions and researchers whose cross-border projects and mobility depend on it. The open question is whether this coordination translates into renewed momentum for the flagship program and exchanges, or remains procedural.
