This publication was first conceived by the Laboratory Coordination Board at the Joint Research Centre's Science Summit in June 2022. At this conference, discussions were held about the role of the JRC in the science of tomorrow and the strategic priorities to shape the future. A great deal of foresight was necessary. To include the view of the generations of tomorrow, this initiative was set up to gather the perspectives of children, who will benefit from the research results of the JRC. Children in their final year of primary school and their first year of secondary school in three European schools in two different countries were asked to draw the laboratories of the future. This catalogue of drawings aims at showing the imagination of children and how their ideas of the future can be a reminder when steering the strategy of JRC's laboratories. Moreover, the publication highlights that the JRC with its laboratory capacities tackles issues that Europe will face in the future.
