‘'A Mapping of the Latest Methodological Developments'’

The first digital KEM monitor This concise, English-language trend report offers a current and concise overview of the most important developments in Key Enabling Methodologies (KEMs) over the past year. New methodological developments, insights, and research questions are mapped out for each KEM category.

The KEM Monitor is not an update of the KEM Agenda 2024–2027, but a supplementary survey of recent and important developments in the field. Like the KEM Agenda, the Monitor is primarily aimed at researchers and policymakers.

The KEM Monitor 2025 was presented on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, during the KEM network conference. The monitor was developed by CLICKNL in collaboration with more than sixty experts from research and practice, who jointly gathered new insights and formulated the most urgent knowledge questions for the coming years.

In this digital edition you will find:

  • For each of the eleven KEM categories: new trends and developments, concrete examples and current research questions.
  • Two thematic chapters addressing practical knowledge questions, focusing on the selection, application, and value and impact of methods.
  • Cross-category reflections and attention to the broader context, including European innovation programs and the National Technology Strategy.
