Commission expert group on the economic and societal impact of research and innovation (ESIR)
The Expert group on the economic and societal impact of research and innovation (ESIR) is a high-level expert group that provides evidence-based policy advice to the Commission on how to develop a forward-looking and transformative research and innovation policy.
Its 16 experts will provide independent advice on how EU research and innovation policy can best support the transformation of our economy and society throughout the social, green and digital transitions.
The group will address society's needs and most pressing challenges through:
- Policy briefs to provide European and national policy-makers with strategic advice on R&I and sustainability;
- Organising outreach activities to fully engage with relevant stakeholders;
- Fostering policy innovation to find new and more impactful public policies.
ESIR enters now its third (2024-2025) term, with a renewed mandate and a new composition.
Members of this group (Type A-members: individuals appointed in a personal capacity) will be selected via the call for applications. Deadline for application is 15/07/2025. The application procedure is described at point 3 of the call.
