Abstract
The article summarizes the main activities of the European Commission concerning electromagnetic fields. It explains also the regulatory context, with a special focus on past and current research projects funded by the European Union and the role of the SCENIHR in assessing risks related to EMF. Main conclusions of the SCENIHR opinion adopted in 2015 on EMF are reported.

Main findings
The article summarizes European Commission activities related to electromagnetic fields, describes the regulatory context, reviews past and current EU-funded EMF research projects, and outlines the role of SCENIHR in EMF risk assessment, including reporting main conclusions from the 2015 SCENIHR EMF opinion.
Outcomes measured
- European Commission activities on EMF
- Regulatory context for EMF
- EU-funded EMF research projects
- SCENIHR role in EMF risk assessment
- Summary of SCENIHR 2015 EMF opinion conclusions
Limitations
- Appears to be a descriptive summary of policy/research activities rather than an original empirical study; no specific exposure parameters or health outcome results are provided in the abstract.
