The Institute’s main activities relate to providing strategic support for the conception and development of EU policies. Its core competence is the ability to work at the intersection between the socio-economic aspects of an issue and the science and technology involved.

The Institute's work is structured along the lines set out in the Community Research Framework Programme and takes the form of a series of Scientific Actions in a range of areas, including the research and innovation policy and techno-economic foresight, environment, energy and transport, information society, and agriculture.
