The European Regulation and Innovation Forum
For a sustainable future through good quality regulation and innovation​
Welcome to the European Regulation and Innovation Forum (ERIF) website ! We are the successor to the European Risk Forum and all of its work. We are the only think tank in Brussels exclusively dedicated to improving the regulatory framework of the European Union’s institutions. We are convinced that Better Regulation is one of the pre-conditions to implement the transition to a greener, prosperous and more sustainable society.

We focus on three main areas of work:
  • Better Regulation, including life-style choices and international regulatory cooperation;
  • Scientific Integrity; and
  • Innovation, including the governance of new, emerging and existing technologies.

We draw on extensive expertise, primarily from our membership, our academic network, and from more than twenty-five years of supporting the improvement of the EU’s regulatory framework, to address ‘horizontal’ cross-sectoral and governance issues related to the way regulations are designed, adopted and implemented at the EU level.
The ERIF is an independent, not-for-profit Société Sans But Lucratif under Belgian law and is registered in the Transparency Register of the European Commission.
