JOINT RESEARCH COUNCIL - JRC
The
Joint Research Centre (JRC) provides customer-driven scientific and
technical support to the conception, development, implementation and monitoring
of EU policies. As the research ‘arm’ of the European Commission, the JRC is a
reference centre for science and technology issues that serves the interests of
the Member States while at the same time remaining independent of special
interests.
The Commission’s proposals for the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) aim to
reinforce the JRC’s customer-driven orientation and its already strong
connections with the scientific community by taking an integrated approach to
its main task, the provision of scientific and technological support to policies.
In particular, it will engage in activities aimed at consolidating growth and
security and ensuring sustainable development.
Under the Commission’s amended FP7 proposals, the JRC will have a budget of
EUR 1751 million to carry out direct non-nuclear research under FP7 in four
broad policy areas:
- Prosperity in a knowledge-intensive society
-
In this policy theme, the JRC will carry out research and networking
activities intended to support, inform and analyse specific EU policies,
including the Lisbon agenda, which work towards the consolidation of a
knowledge society in Europe.
-
Priority areas include competitiveness and innovation, supporting the
European Research Area, research in the areas of renewable and cleaner
energies and transport, the information society, life sciences and
biotechnology.
- Solidarity and responsible resource management
-
The JRC will work to define approaches to achieve economically,
environmentally and socially sustainable development.
-
Priorities include sustainability in rural development, agriculture and
fisheries, a holistic approach to natural resources management, environment
and health, and climate change.
- Security and freedom
-
The JRC's contribution to security and freedom will rest on research to
provide suitable technological means for the detection and analysis of
potential threats and the delivery of tools to improve the EU's prevention,
monitoring and risk management capacities.
-
Priority areas include internal security, responses to and management of
disasters, and food and feed safety and quality.
- Europe as a world partner
- The JRC will provide support to the EU’s external relations instruments,
including instruments for stability and humanitarian aid, thus assisting EU
policy efforts to improve the global security situation and helping to equip
the EU’s development cooperation policy with tools such as an Observatory for
Sustainable Development and Environment in APC countries.
- Priority areas include global security issues and development cooperation.
