Dear colleagues, back from holiday, I see the following information has been sent to the ExBo regarding the following topic: "We are pleased to inform you that the public consultation and call for evidence on the European Innovation Act has been launched and will remain open until September 30. You can access the consultation[here](https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/14...)." ERICs are encouraged to provide individual contributions as they wish and the ExBo will probably coordinate an answer on behalf of ERIC Forum. More about that after our next meeting beginning of September!
