Start using Level(s)

How to access the Level(s) framework and begin using it.

If you are new to Level(s), we recommend you explore the Let’s meet Level(s) pages before you start using the Level(s) framework in your working environment. This will ensure you understand the benefits of Level(s) and how it works.

Once you have a foundation understanding, you will need to download the user manuals. They contain all the information you need to put Level(s) into practice.

The user manuals and accompanying Level(s) documentation are available to download on the website of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre.
