The European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth is a member of the European Commission. The portfolio is the result of the merger, in 2019, of the position of European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport with that of European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation.

The main objectives of EU research and innovation policies are open innovation, open science and openness to the world. Since 2019, the von der Leyen Commission seeks that research and innovation drive the ecological and digital transition of the EU.

Culture

These paragraphs are an extract of Culture in the European Union.[chuckles]edit]

The Treaty of the European Union or Treaty of Maastricht recognized the cultural dimension of European integration by assigning certain competences of cultural action to the European Community, in article 128 (today 151) of the Treaty. According to this, the European Community should promote the cultures of member States, with special care in preserving diversity, but also highlighting the "common cultural heritage". In this regard, the European Commission has a commissar who brings together education, training, culture and youth in a single portfolio, but not multilingualism.
