A comparison was organised by the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements among 73 environmental radioactivity monitoring laboratories for the determination of 15 radionuclides in soil. The reference material IAEA-375 Soil was reprocessed by IRMM to provide the comparison material and...

This report presents the first EU-wide individual farm level model (IFM-CAP) aiming to assess the impacts of CAP towards 2020 on farm economics and environmental effects. The rationale for such a farm-level model is based on the increasing demand for a micro simulation tool capable to model...

The Article 14 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) obliges all Member States to perform a Comprehensive Assessment of their potential for the application of high-efficiency cogeneration and efficient district heating and cooling, containing the information as set out in the Annex VIII of...

The goal of the IMOBAR study is to estimate and compare costs and benefits of Arctic observation systems as a contribution towards the "business case" for sustaining Arctic observations in the long-term and to support the decision-making process. Accelerated warming and rapid environmental...

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MoALF) of the Kenyan government is thoroughly reviewing its Agriculture Sector Growth and Transformation Strategy (ASGTS) to update it to fit the new global dynamics of the agricultural sector. A new ASGTS and a new National Agricultural...

This report provides a framework to assess the impact of universities on their regional innovation ecosystem. The policy context for this work is provided by: a) the Renewed EU agenda for higher education which argued that universities do not attain their full potential; and b) the report by the...

Impact assessments (IA) are an important tool for better regulation and thus one of the cornerstones of policy making in the European Union. IAs require a benchmark against which the policy options can be compared. This benchmark is usually referred to as baseline or baseline scenario. To the...

The emissions from small stationary combustion activities sector, in particular from the energy needs for residential buildings, have significant shares in total emissions of EU28. Therefore, measures to mitigate the emissions from this less regulated sector related to implementation checking...
