BIS have asked BU to participate in a consultation focussing around the EU’s competences. This is an opportunity for us to provide evidence to an informed and objective analysis.
If you would like to contribute to this consultation then the questions to be addressed, and more information about the consultation, can be found here: Balance of Competences Research and Development
Please send your response to the questions to Jo Garrad by c.o.p. 19th July. In order to help me combine the institutional response, please clearly identify which questions you are addressing.
Many thanks for your cooperation and vital input.
