The Information Resource Centre (IRC) is a generic web-based environment, funded and developed, initially for Eurostat, under the European Union IDA (Interchange of Data between Administrations) Programme. It is proposed as a service to all those Administrations that need to cooperate, coordinate and work with their counterparts in other Member States.

The goal of the IDA Programme is to help public administrations build telematic links across Europe, thus offering ultimately a more efficient, transparent and responsive public service to the industry and the citizens.
