The present Report, first of a series, builds on JRC long-standing experience in developing and applying highly accurate radiative transfer models (RTMs) to simulate in situ and satellite data of the aquatic environment. In-house modelling capabilities of the signal at in situ and satellite OC...

A new multi-scale graph-space connectivity framework is presented. It is based upon a measure of dissimilarity between adjacent elements of the graph that is used to construct a hierarchy of partitions. Connected components or partition cells are either preserved or rejected based on a set of...

This report presents the implementation in the EUROPLEXUS code of the possibility of storing a solution for later re-mapping it as initial conditions for a subsequent simulation. EUROPLEXUS (also abbreviated as EPX) is a computer code jointly developed by the French Commissariat à l'Energie...

Operations research is the scientific study of operations for the purpose of better decision making and management. Disasters are defined as events whose consequences exceed the capability of civil protection and public health systems to provide necessary responses in a timely manner. Public...

As part of the ISA programme, the Digital Economy Unit of the European Commission (EC) Joint Research Centre (JRC) is co-ordinating ISA Action 2.13 - Establishment of a European Union Location Framework (EULF). The goal of this analysis, carried out as part of the EULF action, was to identify a...

Foreign direct investments (FDI) in research and development (R&D) are important catalysts of economic development. Through a diversity of direct and indirect policy measures, governments compete in attracting such investments. Our study investigates the factors that affect the degree of...

The European Union location framework (EULF) is a set of good practices and actions to promote more effective and efficient use of location information in e-government services across Europe. The EULF was initially developed in the ISA programme, which supported interoperability solutions,...

Based on the priority currently given by the European Union to the energy efficiency topic through its Energy Union Package, this feasibility study has focused on the role of location data in support of energy efficiency policies, taking into account the requirements of INSPIRE, EPBD and EED...

Ten years ago, when the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan was launched, the energy transition was in the making but still looked distant. While the challenge of successfully transforming our energy system still lies ahead of us, few would deny that the chances of success seem today much...
