Policy spotlights

The JRC conducts extensive research and analysis across a wide range of topics that inform EU policy. 

Our policy spotlights showcase the JRC’s contribution to key topics on the EU agenda.

From the earliest stages of the policy cycle, the JRC has supported policymakers with scientific evidence, foresight analysis and innovative methods to apply an intergenerational lens when developing policies.

To address rising energy prices and reduce dependency on imported fossil fuels, the EU set out a series of actions to boost electrification, accelerate the shift to homegrown energy, and strengthen energy grids.

The JRC investigates the implications of digital technologies on people’s health and wellbeing, providing evidence to support EU digital policies. In an era of rapid digital transformation, understanding how technology shapes our well-being is critical.
