REGROUP will deliver six types of publications throughout the project: research papers, policy papers, foresight papers, focus papers, mini-public papers, and external papers. Explore all our publications below, or filter them by type. Follow us on TwitterLinkedIn, and Mastodon to stay up to date for new publications. 

Research papers are scholarly studies presenting research conducted in the diagnostic and evaluative work packages.

Policy papers present actionable policy advice building on the analyses and evidence contained in the research papers.

Foresight papers provide EU policy-makers with agenda-setting overviews of the areas covered by the three prescriptive work packages.

Focus papers present in-depth advice on specific topics within the REGROUP prescriptive work packages.

This section contains the methodology brief and mini-public reports produced as part of work package 4.

External publications include outside publications based on REGROUP research.
