Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth said:
"To develop new technologies, products, and services in Europe and to ensure that innovative solutions are taken up, academia and industry must work closely together. Strong citizen engagement is key to accelerating the uptake of innovative solutions that better respond to people’s needs. These codes of practice, developed with stakeholders, will be a valuable tool for bridging the gap between the lab and the market and for boosting knowledge valorisation."
