The JRC provides evidence-based knowledge to support EU policies and positively impact society Science you can trustWhen policy makers create laws that affect millions of Europeans, what can they rely on? Who can they trust?From science to policyThe Joint Research Centre is the science and knowledge service of the European Commission. We put independent science at the heart of EU policymaking. In focusMeet Lorelei Commin, one of our scientists working on nuclear research for energy and healthcare.
