Research and Innovation are strongly interlinked. The Innovation Act should enable the effective valorisation of research into innovation, with excellence as a key criterion for research assessment. Therefore, the objectives of this act should be built build on the foundation of supporting excellent research activities and sound ethical values.
The free movement of people, knowledge, and expertise is a cornerstone of an effective and attractive European Research Area (ERA). A significant barrier to this mobility is the limited portability of qualifications and skills across the EU.

The free movement of people, knowledge, and expertise is a core component of an effective and attractive European Research Area (ERA). It is vital that research professionals are provided with opportunities for mobility in an equitable and inclusive manner as a means of gaining expertise, experience, and new skills. Done effectively, this can boost the quality and impact of research across the ERA.
