Ecorys Brussels Impact Portfolio 2026

The Ecorys Brussels Impact Portfolio 2026 presents eight selected projects that demonstrate how our work contributes to tangible change across EU policy, governance, science and communities.

Background

Making a positive impact through our project work is central to Ecorys’ mission. Ecorys Brussels is developing a structured approach to enable, monitor and communicate impact across its projects. The Impact Portfolio 2026 showcases the positive impacts of eight EU projects covering various sectors and services.

Impact categories

The Ecorys Brussels Impact Portfolio 2026 presents a set of EU projects that illustrate five types of impact:
