The European Union Agencies Network on Scientific Advice (EU ANSA) has issued a joint statement reaffirming the importance of EU agencies in supporting research and translating scientific knowledge into evidence‑based policy making. Chief scientists and top scientific officers from agencies such as EU‑OSHA signed the statement, highlighting how agencies contribute across the research‑knowledge cycle—from identifying policy‑relevant gaps to shaping priorities and supporting uptake of research results in regulatory science and policy implementation. The statement draws on lessons from recent crises, including COVID‑19, and stresses the need for inter‑ and transdisciplinary research to tackle complex challenges like climate change, emerging health threats and geopolitical pressures. EU ANSA welcomes the proposed Horizon Europe 2028–2034 programme and urges proactive involvement of agencies in future research programming. EU‑OSHA’s work on credible evidence and knowledge on workplace safety risks is cited as an example of translating science into policy and prevention.
