Knowledge for policy

Supporting policy with scientific evidence

We mobilise people and resources to create, curate, make sense of and use knowledge to inform policymaking across Europe.

Knowledge and Communities

ALL A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
AI Watch
A hub for the JRC’s scientific research on Artificial Intelligence
Biodiversity Knowledge Centre
We enhance the knowledge base, facilitate its sharing and foster cross-sectorial policy dialogue for EU policy making in biodiversity and related fields.
Cancer Centre
We foster scientific and technical coordination of EU activities on cancer, while expanding the EU’s capacities and systems for prevention, early detection, treatment and care.
Composite Indicators (CC-COIN)
Our expertise on statistical methodologies and in developing sound composite indicators provides policy-makers with the ‘big picture’ for informed policy decisions and progress monitoring.
Earth Observation
We enable the uptake of state-of-the-art knowledge from Earth Observation for EU policies and better regulation.
Europe Media Monitor (EMM)
Europe Media Monitor (EMM) analyses multilingual news for public discourse and European Union policy development.
European Platform Life Cycle Assessment (EPLCA)
The EPLCA is the EU’s knowledge base that responds to business and policy needs towards sustainable production and consumption. It supports the methodological development of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the analysis of supply chains and end-of-life waste management.
FAIRMODE Forum for Air Quality Modelling
FAIRMODE brings together air quality modelers and users to promote and support the harmonized use of models by EU Member States to support the European Air Quality Directives.
Food Fraud and Quality
The Knowledge Centre for Food Fraud and Quality (KC-FFQ) produces and makes sense of scientific information to protect the authenticity and quality of food in the EU

A reference point for public health policy makers with reliable, independent and up-to date information on topics related to promotion of health and well-being.
Learning Lab
The Learning Lab on Investing in Quality Education and Training promotes the use of education policy evaluation practices in the EU. It helps improve evidence and identify ways to invest in education policies. These policies in turn will lead to better learning outcomes and equity.
Life Cycle Data Network (LCDN)
The Life Cycle Data Network (LCDN) was launched in 2014. It aims to provide a globally usable infrastructure for the publication of quality assured LCA dataset from different organizations ( e.g. industry, national LCA projects, research groups, and consultants).
Migration and Demography
Deepening our understanding of opportunities and challenges related to demographic change and migration.
Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste Management
The Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste Management Programme of the Joint Research Centre was launched in 1999 to address the safe dismantling of obsolete nuclear installations and the management of associated radioactive waste across JRC sites in Ispra (Italy), Karlsruhe (Germany), Geel (Belgium), and Petten (Netherlands).
Nuclear Decommissioning Knowledge Management
The Knowledge Centre for Nuclear Decommissioning initiative is a strategic effort to capture, consolidate, and disseminate knowledge from the Nuclear Decommissioning Assistance Programme (NDAP) beneficiaries.
Strategic Foresight
We foster a strategic, future-oriented and anticipatory culture in the EU policymaking process.
Technology Transfer Offices
The CC TT provides technology transfer policy related expertise and services to the European Commission and other institutions of the Union and operational support services to a broader range of stakeholders.
Territorial Policies
Until this Knowledge Service was archived in July 2024, it supported EU policymaking through better knowledge management on territorial (urban and regional) related issues.
Text Mining and Analysis (TMA)
We use text mining and analysis tools to extract information from online data, including traditional or social media, or from large public or proprietary document sets.
Water Academy
A flagship initiative to strengthen water resilience in Europe
Water Hub
We enhance the knowledge base to support EU policy-making in water and related fields.
