What we do

We have clustered the JRC activities into ten science areas which provide an overview of the research performed in these fields.

Our scientific publications with free digital access are published in the Publications Repository: Science-for-Policy reports, articles, technical reports and other scientific outputs.

We carry out research and manage knowledge in order to provide independent scientific advice and support to EU policy.

Easily discover how our scientific research is linked to our daily lives. You can explore animations, infographics, games, videos, virtual tours and other media.

Read more about our worldwide partnerships and collaborations and scientific networks. Look for cooperation opportunities and find information about job opportunities with us.

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), provides free access to business opportunities. Link to pre-filtered list for JRC.
