Turning evidence into policy pathways that shape the future

LISER Policy Lab logo
Rigorous evidence for impactful policies

The LISER Policy Lab, created by the Luxembourg Institute for Socio-Economic Research (LISER), is a pioneering initiative to tackle Luxembourg’s and Europe’s most pressing challenges.

At a time when public policies are becoming increasingly complex and costly, the LISER Policy Lab brings rigorous scientific analysis into decision-making. It provides independent, high-quality insights across areas such as economic development, climate change, public health, digitalisation, housing, education, and social cohesion.

Analytics for adaptive policy systems

The LISER Policy Lab follows a four-stage cycle to ensure policies remain effective and adaptable:

  • Policy identification – spotting challenges and opportunities early
  • Ex-ante evaluation – testing proposals before they are launched
  • Impact monitoring – measuring effectiveness in real time
  • Ex-post evaluation – learning from results to refine future action

Built on impartiality, transparency, and collaboration, the Lab positions Luxembourg as a leader in evidence-based governance.

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.
