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:

1. Policy identification – spotting challenges and opportunities early

2. Ex-ante evaluation – testing proposals before they are launched

3. Impact monitoring – measuring effectiveness in real time

4. 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.
