The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission supports EU policies with evidence and advice. The EU Policy Lab combines foresight, behavioral insights, and design to envision, connect, and prototype solutions for better policies. It engages stakeholders and uses tools like serious games, scenario prototyping, and knowledge sharing to build collective visions and stories around policy. Recent projects explored policy labs in the EU, maker spaces, blockchain technologies, and workshops on food and digital fabrication for common and public good.
