JRC annual report 2003

Summary:

In 2003 the JRC made good progress in consolidating its reputation as a research-based policy support organisation, capable of providing support to a range of Commission policies while maintaining a strong science base. The new multi-annual work programme of the JRC for the Sixth Framework Programme, adopted in March 2003, reflects this user emphasis while also allowing the development of new scientific competence in order to meet emerging needs.
