Summary: As part of its research strategy, EPA Research 2030, the EPA will carry out a detailed consultation to identify key research areas and actions, including emerging challenges and knowledge requirements, to inform the direction of the EPA Research Programme on a three-year cycle. The Thematic Research Priorities have now been updated for the period 2024 to 2026.
The EPA have identified 37 Thematic Research Priorities for 2024-2026, which will set the strategic direction for the EPA Research Programme over the next three years. The priorities reflect key evidence and research needs required to address policy and knowledge gaps in the medium and longer term (2026 and beyond). They have been identified through a review of global, European and national priorities, as well as extensive consultation and engagement with EPA Research stakeholders both nationally and internationally.
The Thematic Research Priorities support the implementation of the EPA’s research framework EPA Research 2030, and will inform the development and implementation of targeted research actions over the three-year cycle 2024-2026, including our annual research calls, fast-track to policy funding and our national and international partnerships.
