This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of digital technologies on work and occupations in Europe, critically reassessing dominant narratives of mass unemployment and job polarisation. The report synthesises work done by the JRC Employment team over the last years. Drawing on...

This report presents a novel, network-based approach to map the global positioning of the EU across industrial ecosystems, benchmarking against other geographic areas, in particular the United States and China. Building on the DGTES methodology, initially applied to the digital ecosystem, we ext...

This literature review is part of the FUTURINNOV project—a collaboration between the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency—, which aims at spotting signals of emerging technologies and some breakthrough innovations. This literat...

The recast Drinking Water Directive (EU) 2020/2184 empowers the European Commission (EC) to adopt a methodology to measure microplastics in water intended for human consumption. When the directive entered into force in January 2021, no suitable standardised or harmonised methodologies were avail...

The Geographic Information System of the Commission (GISCO) manages the European Commission’s geographical reference database, providing key geospatial datasets. These datasets support various Commission services, with regular use by several Directorates-General (DG), including the Joint Researc...

This report presents a series of numerical simulations, done by the EUROPLEXUS code [1], of experimental tests performed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) about blast effects on tubular concrete (plain or reinforced) structures. These structures provide a simplified re...

This report presents a series of numerical simulations of flexible beams subjected to blast-like loading in the SIMLab Shock Tube Facility (SSTF) of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim. The simulations are performed by the EUROPLEXUS computer code. Keywords: Fast...

This report explores a simplified approach to account for Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) effects on blast-loaded plates. Basically, the model estimates the effect of plate motion and deformation on the blast pressure acting on the plate. The basic ingredient of the model is the time history o...

This document describes the design process, definitions, and algorithmic implementation for a pan-European assessment of forest fragmentation. This study is a preceding presentation of the indicator 4.7 in the State of Europe’s Forests 2025 report, published by FOREST EUROPE. Forest cover is der...

This report presents the results of the annual product and service quality assessment (QA) of the Global Flood Monitoring (GFM) product of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), which was performed on a quarterly basis during 2024. This report is the fourth in a series, following th...
