Here, you will find

  • high quality, relevant and scientifically robust knowledge created and curated by 19 teams of European Commission scientists
  • content and interfaces specially created and tailored for policymakers
  • a single database of interconnected knowledge to inform policy
  • an online community where scientist and policymakers collaborate to transfer scientific knowledge into public policy (under construction)
