The Joint Research Centre has strong partnerships with EU countries not only at national, but also at regional level.
We cooperate with them to facilitate the establishment of closer links between the European scientific community and the European Commission through partnerships with universities, national academies and other umbrella research organisations.
The JRC supports EU members' national parliaments, ministries and agencies amongst others, in areas where we have developed special competences. We also contribute to the functioning of the European Research Area (ERA), for example by providing opportunities to doctorate, post-doctorate and detached national experts to work at the JRC. Our partnerships with key industry associations are also crucial as they provide opportunities for exchange on research and technological developments.
