Upcoming EU initiatives

We’re expecting a busy autumn: after conducting consultations over the summer, the EU Commission will release a strategy for AI in science on 7 October and a Data Union Strategy at the end of October. A consultation was just launched on a Digital Omnibus, a package to review and streamline digital legislation to alleviate compliance burdens — which we will participate in to ensure that protection standards are not lowered. Further consultations are expected on the ERA Act and on science diplomacy — the very same theme as our Frankfurt Conference.
