Key Messages:
Recast: be clear!• Formulate the Regulation in an unambiguous way and do not
leave open areas of legal uncertainty as a consequence of clauses that need a lot of interpretation.
Universities need guidance• Provide the necessary tools and guidelines for universities to be
able to comply with the Regulation with legal certainty and without too many burdens being imposed.
• Improve access to, and guidance from, regulatory bodies so that research projects are not unduly delayed.
