EPRA Hub

Evidence-based Policy Research and Action Hub

 

We produce challenge-based and problem-centered policy research that analyses policy practices, processes and outcomes in key areas of government activities.

Our Mission

The EPRA Hub’s missions and goals

We will bridge the gap between academic research and the real-world needs of policy-making.

Our Vision

The EPRA Hub’s Vision

The Policy Hub takes inspiration from the so-called “policy sciences” and their shared aim of producing scientific knowledge, on the one hand, and responding to societal needs for information on the process of production of public policies. The UN and EU objectives of democracy, inclusion, and sustainability are intertwined, and they need to be translated into policy practices to sustain the correct functioning of our institutions.
