The EU Policy Lab helps policymakers develop fair, effective sustainability transitions under the European Green Deal and the twin green–digital transitions. We integrate foresight, behavioural insights and design to drive systemic, real‑world change.
More concretely we:
- Analyse trends and scenarios toward a climate‑neutral EU by 2050 to inform coherent, cross‑policy choices.
- Explore opportunities such as digitalisation in farming to build adaptive strategies.
- Identify psychological and social drivers that shape choices in transport, agriculture, and energy consumption.
- Develop and test interventions such as harmonised waste sorting labels, EV adoption levers and energy‑efficiency prompts to guide behaviour.
- Investigate the structural and behavioural drivers of implementing EU green policies through a behavioural systems approach
- Use iterative, user‑centred, co‑creative design to make policies inclusive and grounded in practice.
- Run design‑driven experimentation on internal organisational practices and the interplay between EU and local knowledge in implementation work (e.g. water resilience), connecting science to implementation of policies.
- Prototype policy tools tested with behavioural experiments in an iterative process (e.g. EU-harmonised waste sorting labels).
