Key principles
Policy areas and methodologies
Interdisciplinary insight, diverse approaches
The LISER Policy Lab brings together LISER’s interdisciplinary research teams and scientific partners to tackle a broad spectrum of challenges. Drawing on expertise from economics, sociology, geography and beyond, the Lab supports robust, evidence-based policymaking across diverse areas using multiple complementary methodologies, ranging from qualitative research and participatory approaches to advanced quantitative modelling and experimental evaluation.
Key policy areas
The LISER Policy Lab supports policy design, monitoring, and evaluation across multiple domains, aligning priorities with the needs of citizens, communities, and businesses.
Analytics for adaptive policy systems
The LISER Policy Lab applies a four-stage policy cycle designed to keep public action effective, responsive, and future-ready. This approach begins with policy identification, where emerging challenges and opportunities are detected early, followed by ex-ante evaluation to test policy proposals before implementation. Through impact monitoring, the Lab measures effectiveness in real time, and ex-post evaluation ensures lessons learned are fed back into future policy design. Grounded in impartiality, transparency, and collaboration, this model positions Luxembourg at the forefront of evidence-based and adaptive governance.
Key methodologies
Every policy choice involves timing, targeting, and trade-offs. The LISER Policy Lab equips policymakers with the analytical tools needed to activate the right levers — at the right moment, in the right place, and in the right way.
