Research and Innovation, and Jessica Larsson, Deputy Head of Unit. Julien Ravet was in charge

of overall editing, coordination and steering, including the draing of the Report, managing a

number of working groups feeding into the process, and providing support to contributors (within

the European Commission services and external experts and contractors).
