About K4P

For policymakers

Here you can find trustworthy, policy-relevant and scientifically robust knowledge, created and curated by communities of researchers from across the JRC and beyond.

For scientists

Whether you work in the JRC or elsewhere, K4P offers you a way of reaching and collaborating with wider audiences, showcasing your research, and having your work taken up and used in policymaking.

Who we are

Knowledge4Policy (K4P) is the Joint Research Centre's platform that connects research and policymaking. We bring together high-quality scientific knowledge and analysis to support good decision-making across the European Union. Our content is created and curated by many different 'knowledge communities'- research teams that specialise in different subject areas.

Our aim

Creating and curating reliable, policy-relevant knowledge from across the Joint Research Centre and beyond.
Making research easy to find, in a powerful, integrated knowledge base.
Ensuring that science is accessible, understandable and usable for Europe’s policymakers.

What we offer

Trusted, policy-relevant evidence
K4P provides reliable research and analysis from JRC scientists, and curated contributions from the wider scientific community. All content is reviewed for relevance to EU policy areas and adherence to JRC standards on scientific integrity and research ethics.
Interconnected knowledge
Evidence is connected to different policy areas – from climate to health and food systems – and to research in other subject areas, enabling decision-makers to tackle complex challenges tha cross disciplinary boundaries.

Policy-relevant insights and tools
Beyond publications, K4P offers structured overviews of complex topics, data visualisations, policy briefs and research syntheses, modelling and analytics tools. These help to translate scientific understanding into insight that supports policymaking.
A shared space for researchers and policymakers
Researchers use K4P to increase the visibility, reach and policy impact of their work. Policymakers use K4P to gain quick access to reliable scientific evidence supporting informed, transparent decision-making in different policy areas.
