In this report, we investigate the role of regulatory experimentation as an innovation tool to enable and facilitate the energy transition. Regulation can help to accelerate the adoption of innovative technologies, solutions and business models, thus reflecting the fast-changing environment that...
This technical report shows our ongoing work aimed at monitoring societal issues and economic activities (e.g., industrial production, unemployment, loneliness, cultural participation) across EU member states by mining unconventional data sources to complement official statistics. While the latt...
Most of southern and western Europe is affected by substantial anomalies of soil moisture and river flow due to an exceptionally dry and warm winter. The snow water equivalent in the Alps is far below the historical average, and is even lower than that for the 2021-2022 winter. This will lead to...
The transition to a climate neutral energy system relies on an increasing share of renewable energy sources in European electricity grids. As the production of renewable energy sources is inherently variable, flexibility requirements to balance supply and demand are expected to grow in the years...
In order for the European Union to achieve the ambitious targets it has set for the energy and digital transitions and its defence and space agenda, it needs undisrupted access to critical raw materials and to many products which contain them. This foresight study presents a systematic and detai...
The SELFIEforTEACHERS toolkit is a guide for the SELFIEforTEACHERS self-reflection tool. It aims at providing guidance to teachers, teacher educators and trainers, as well as education authorities and other interested parties, who want to use the SELFIEforTEACHERS self-reflection tool in profess...
For the validation of a number of in vitro methods specific to the thyroid hormone system solubility of 40 selected chemicals was determined systematically by nephelometry, measuring relative turbidity (Tyndall effect light scatter signal) as an indicator of insoluble suspension or precipitation...
A severe lack of precipitation affects both the Maghreb and Türkiye with impacts on soil moisture and rivers flow. In mid-December 2022 a prolonged warm-spell affected the Maghreb and partially Türkiye. As of February 2023, winter has been warm and dry over most of the Mediterranean. In the Magh...
The European Commission’s long-term vision for the EU’s rural areas identifies several areas of action towards stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous rural areas and communities by 2040. A flagship action on research and innovation aims to help tackle the challenges towards fulfilling rur...
Quarterly average values of radioactivity levels in airborne particulates, surface water, drinking water, milk and mixed diet are reported for the twenty-eight countries of the European Union (sparse and dense network) for the years 2012-2014....
