Launch of the Security Research & Innovation Campus [Highlights] Joint Research Centre (JRC) 2026-09-23 | On 10 September 2026, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs (DG HOME) of the @EuropeanCommission launched the Security Research & Innovation Campus at JRC Ispra, Italy. As part of the EU’s Internal Security Strategy, the Security Campus will accelerate the deployment of innovative technologies. It will work as a collaborative hub where Europe’s security experts, researchers and policy makers can meet, experiment and turn ideas into real world solutions. By bringing together Europe’s security community to test and co-design new solutions, it will help break down silos and reduce fragmented knowledge, speeding up the innovation cycle. Linking scientific excellence with operational experience, the Security Research & Innovation Campus will contribute to a more resilient, safer Europe for everyone.Read more about the Campus: https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/scientific-activities/security-research-innovation-campus_en© European Union, 2026______________________________🧪 *JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE (JRC)* 🔬The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) provides independent, evidence-based knowledge & science, supporting EU policies to positively impact society.As a department of the European Commission, we play a key role at multiple stages of the policy cycle.

How is demography changing in the EU? Joint Research Centre (JRC) 2026-07-15 | Europeans are living longer than ever before. As our population evolves, so too must the policies that support people throughout their lives. The latest report on Demographic transformation in the EU helps us understand these changes through evidence, providing insights that support better policymaking and help improve people's lives. Demographic trends shape many of the decisions we make today, including on: - Supporting people into the labour market.- Investing in skills, innovation and talent.- Childcare and long-term care. - Housing. By providing a clearer picture of these changes, the report helps ensure that policies are grounded in evidence, supporting a more competitive, fairer and resilient Europe.

Faces behind Science - Maurice Whelan #JRC #ScienceForPolicy Joint Research Centre (JRC) 2026-06-30 | With Ireland taking over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union on July 2026, we’re happy to make you discover the journey and work of one of Irish colleagues: *Maurice Whelan* . Maurice joined the Joint Research Centre through the @EuropeanCommission's Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellowship programme. A few years later, he continued his journey as permanent staff and, as he says, “I’ve been here ever since and I’ve loved every minute of it.” Over the years, Maurice has worked across different scientific fields. Today, he leads the EU reference laboratory for alternatives to animal testing and a team exploring new human-based tools for biomedical research and chemical testing, including 3D cell cultures, organ-on-chip devices and computer modelling.

How is scientific research helping fight cyberbullying across the EU? Joint Research Centre (JRC) 2026-04-27 | Cyberbullying remains a pressing challenge, affecting 1 in 6 school-aged children across Europe. To address this, the @EuropeanCommission has adopted an evidence-based Action Plan against cyberbullying, developed through an extensive consultation with over 6,000 children and scientific research to achieve a common understanding and identify protective measures.The Plan introduces concrete measures, including:➡️ Updated educational tools for teachers,➡️ A new online safety app for reporting abuse,➡️ Stronger EU-wide coordination for safer digital spaces.The Joint Research Centre has analysed major components of cyberbullying and how countries across the EU define and fight it, identifying key elements, risks and protective factors.By integrating scientific research with policy, the EU is taking decisive action to safeguard children and empower communities, a clear example of what evidence-based collaboration can achieve.Listen to what Sevin Aktas and Romina Cachia tells us about it! © European Union, 2026______________________________🧪 *JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE (JRC)* 🔬The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) provides independent, evidence-based knowledge & science, supporting EU policies to positively impact society.As a department of the European Commission, we play a key role at multiple stages of the policy cycle.

EDGAR: Tracking emissions to fight climate change Joint Research Centre (JRC) 2025-11-11 | Over 50 billion tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere every year. But where do they come from and how can we reduce them? EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) tracks emissions from industry, transport, agriculture, and more. With high-resolution maps from global to city level, EDGAR gives policymakers and the EU the data they need to design strategies, track climate targets, and drive sustainable change.EDGAR-FOOD zooms in on the food chain, measuring its emissions and showing how sustainable practices and innovation can reduce the global impact of what we eat.Together, EDGAR and EDGAR-FOOD are powering Europe and the world toward climate neutrality, guiding policies, investments, and a greener future for all.To know more about EDGAR: https://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu© European Union, 2025______________________________🧪 *JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE (JRC)* 🔬The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) provides independent, evidence-based knowledge & science, supporting EU policies to positively impact society.As a department of the European Commission, we play a key role at multiple stages of the policy cycle.
