In support of Europe's Beating Cancer Plan and the new Mission on Cancer, the Knowledge Centre on Cancer lays the groundwork for a united EU approach to cancer research. It provides evidence to combat cancer, facilitates coordinated planning and execution, and aims to ensure high-quality cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment across Europe.

Flow chemistry is used in the lab to produce solutions with very small quantities of explosives, a process that is safer and less polluting than traditional approaches. Our tests are used by airport inspectors and law enforcement officers in Europe to make sure sniffer dogs and electronic detection equipment provide the highest level of security.

The European Commission’s Competence Centre on Foresight together with the Directorate General for Taxation and Customs Union involved relevant stakeholders to co-create 4 scenarios and a follow-up vision for EU Customs in 2040. Check out the step-by-step process to see how this vision can be achieved in any future initiatives in customs.

In seismic-prone regions, improved fire performance may be required. There are no guidelines in European standards yet which is why we study how buildings respond to fire at our Reaction Wall in the European Laboratory for Structural Assessment in Ispra in order to improve design guidelines and standards for earthquakes-resisitant buildings.

The tests use the largest reaction wall in Europe, which is special. The initiative will help create new guidelines for the design and details of flat-slab structures that are vulnerable to seismic and gravitational loads, thereby increasing their safety. This is only one illustration of testing the effects of earthquakes on materials and constructions.

JRC launched a comprehensive European Atlas of Natural Radiation together with experts from 60 institutes. A valuable encyclopedia, with beautiful images and striking charts that provides reference levels and harmonised data for scientists, authorities and for anyone who wants to know more about their natural radioactive environment.

The innovation aims to provide labs and companies producing COVID-19 tests with assurance that their equipment is working properly, eventually harmonising equipment across Europe. By collecting a large amount of epidemiological data and providing specific epidemiological circumstances, we assist governments in responding to the virus more effectively.
