I want to include (software engineering) formal research in this petition, but 1 step at a time.

I completely agree - badly designed software is undermining society.

Reliability is the most fundamental piece of any software system. Advances on software engineering and on the verification and validation of software are needed now, more than ever. The continuous investment on software-related systems (e.g., AI, IoT) just reinforces the need for funding on areas related to the development of formal methods for software validation and verification. We cannot lack support on the most fundamental requirement underlying all software systems.

Software research is seriously underfunded in Europe. The correct and reliable functioning of software systems is critical to practically all companies and institutions today. We are still far from being able to build reliable software predictably and effectively.

Independent funding and research is needed to help develop software research. This is too important to be left to private means. Our societies depend on correctly functioning software to drive our services, businesses and support technology. It's time to be bold and it's time to invest.

Under-funding of software research is very short-sighted - it is the foundation on which a lot of other research is built.

We either prevail or loose in this game where the best software people are. IT needs research and a lot.
