When policymakers create laws that affect millions of Europeans, how can they be confident that these laws will help people live better and safely?
Scientists of the Joint Research Centre carry out research in various fields to provide independent advice to EU policymakers and put science at the heart of European policies.
We are working every day to make European policies grounded in science.

![#2 Where It All Happens: more digital, more competitive [Episode 2]
Join us on the second episode where we explore the digital transformation in industry and its impact on competitiveness. Our guests, *Adolfo Morais* , Deputy Regional Minister of Science from the Basque Country and *Helin Yontar* , an expert on AI education, share their insights on how digitalisation is changing the EU industry.
At the Joint Research Centre of the @EuropeanCommission we begin a journey in which 200 territories will use their own potential to innovate and learn from others to transform. This is what innovation for place-based transformation is all about.

![#7 Where It All Happens: achieving circularity [Episode 7]
Come along while we explore what circularity really means, why it matters and how is shaping Europes future.
We speak with *Antonio Delre* from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, who explains the difference between circularity and sustainability. We listen to Dalarna in Sweden and Normandy in France, where local actors share how circular approaches are helping transform industry and bring new life to the plastics sector. Finally, we travel to Sofia, Bulgaria, where representatives from different regions explain how the EU Preparatory Action is helping them turn their ideas into action.
