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.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode, a teacher in France and a social worker in Germany share their insights on how technology impacts their daily work and what can be improved.
We also explore the Southern Region of Ireland and Oulu, Finland—areas that aim to make public services smarter and more inclusive for everyone, including those in rural areas.
Come along to discover territorial challenges and strategies on how place-based digital transformation could improve people's lives.
