The Mission of the Joint Research Centre
… is to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for
the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU
policies.
1. JRC – mission, structure, role in FP7 and policy cycle
policies.
As a service of the European Commission, the JRC functions as a
reference centre of science and technology for the Union.
Close to the policy-making process, it serves
the common interest of the Member States,
while being independent of special interests,
whether private or national.

Joint Research Centre
• EU Policy support: intensive interaction with policy DG’s and relevant stakeholders:
direct scientific/technical input into legislative process; operational support:
alert/anticipation, quick response functions and monitoring of compliance (e.g., crop
declarations under Common Agricultural Policy)
• Scientific-technical reference systems: establish standardised methodologies
JRC typology of activities
• Scientific-technical reference systems: establish standardised methodologies
and measurement protocols (GMO, BSE/TSE, environmental quality, nuclear safety
etc); test & evaluation of metal detectors and UWB systems
• Research partnerships: European Research Area,
user laboratories, access to large facilities, networks,
training and mobility, co-operations

Current JRC Priorities
• Contribute to the European Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan,
drafting a ”Technology Map” (status and prospects of key energy
technologies) and “a Capacity Map” (sketching the energy research
capacities and infrastructures in the EU Member States)
2. JRC priorities and Institute activities
capacities and infrastructures in the EU Member States)
• Support EU Climate Change policy aiming at limiting Global Climate Change to 2°C compared to pre-industrial level, by means of climate change research, scenario development, socio-economic impact studies, etc.
• Increasing Internal and External Security (addressing terrorist threats,
combating proliferation of CBRN, support border control, …)
• Support to the Lisbon Goals (monitoring of research policies and of relevant
indicators in EU, digital divide, econometric tools, interplay between
innovation and regulation, standards and references in support of growth, …)
