Science Europe is the association representing major public organisations that fund or perform excellent, ground-breaking research in Europe.
We bring together the expertise of some of the largest and best-known research organisations in the world to jointly push the frontiers of how scientific research is produced and delivers benefits to society.
We advocate science and the scientific community to help build the European Research Area and shape the global scientific agenda.
With members from 31 EU and non-EU countries and from all parts of Europe, we speak with a truly European voice.
Bringing together research funding and research performing organisations.
Our members make a significant contribution to European scientific research and are crucial stakeholders in European science and research policy making.
