On 29 September 2025, representatives from the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) met in Brussels and adopted a Ministerial Declaration and a New Agenda for Cooperation in Research and Innovation. The EU–CELAC Research and Innovation Ministerial was the first meeting of its kind. The agreements made set out shared priorities, concrete actions and governance to guide bi-regional cooperation in the years ahead.
