In January, CEN and CENELEC participated in the European Commission’s public consultation on the European Research Area Act, the flagship initiative aimed at closing the EU’s innovation gap and making Europe the most attractive destination for researchers.
CEN and CENELEC’s contribution focuses specifically on the section on Knowledge Valorisation, which highlights persistent barriers to turning research results into societal and economic value. This contribution follows up on CEN and CENELEC’s response to the EC’s call for evidence on the upcoming European Innovation Act in October 2025.
