The JRC Week on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards is an event during which over 100 practitioners in a wide range of fields come together to learn about indicator frameworks that summarise complex and multidimensional concepts, such as:

• development and innovation
• sustainability
• inequality
• intergenerational fairness

Over three days, participants will engage in a training session and in a Community of Practice. The first two full days of the Week will comprise of the Training, where participants will learn about quality-controlled methods for developing and analysing indicator frameworks and the efforts needed in terms of data collection, analysis, and visualisation.

The training will also offer lessons learned from the JRC assessments of more than 100 well-known composite indicators and scoreboards. 

Community of Practice

On the third day, the Community of Practice on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards will offer a valuable opportunity to share challenges in building multidimensional indicator frameworks, create new collaborations, and stay up to date with the latest developments on composite indicators. 

Over the past decade, we have hosted an outstanding lineup of guests and engaged in inspiring conversations, and this year will be no exception! 

The 2025 Community of Practice edition will include discussions on food systems and security, equality, inclusion, and intergenerational fairness. 

Through a series of guest presentations, we will look at how composite indicators and scoreboards are helping policymakers reach evidence-based decisions. 

The JRC Week on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards will take place from 03 to 05 December 2025. 

Sessions will commence between 09:30 and 10:00 AM CEST each day. The event will be hosted in the JRC Ispra premises.
