Why should you engage with us?

The JRC strives to ensure that its work has highscientific value and to be a reliable partnerin developing and translating scientific data into credible and trustworthy evidence for policy. Its value proposition is based on threemain concepts, starting with the anticipation of scientific and policy trends. Secondly, the integration of all factors related to societal challenges helps to clarify complexity and bridge silos. Finally, the JRC evaluates the impact of science on the whole policy cycle.

The JRC shares its knowledge to provide national, regional and local authorities with relevant evidence for policymaking. While its main focus ison the European level, JRC has tools that are of relevance to the member state and regional levels, too. JRC collects and gives access to vast amounts of country-specific and regional data that can beused in raw form or together with its analyses relevant to the European context. JRC collectsand facilitates the exchange of best practices. And last but not least: it provides open access tomany of its world-class research infrastructure.

Ensuring that the best available evidence flows seamlessly to policymakers where it is needed, in good time, is a common challenge.If scientific knowledge for policy can circulate more easily among Member States and the EU institutions, its impact is likely to increase. JRC prioritizes strategic partnerships and works with the broader community of knowledge brokers to share and strengthen its own capacity to ensure that science delivers for EU policy.
