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 30 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.
This webinar will explore the latest initiatives in monitoring and evidence gathering for open science and research assessment reform, and will mark the launch of our new tender report.
The European Regional Meeting of the Global Research Council serves to collect European input to the discussion topics for the 2026 GRC Annual Meeting: Open Science and Sustainable Research. The 2025 European Regional Meeting is co-hosted with HUN-REN and SFRS.
Science Europe is looking for a Policy Officer on International Research Collaboration to join its team in Brussels.
Applications are open until 5 October.
Science Europe's initial response to the European Commission's proposals for the next EU budget and new Horizon Europe, including a set of recommendations. While the proposals provide a significant budget increase and the Framework Programme remains self-standing, further clarification on its relation to the Competitiveness Fund is needed.
Trust in science is crucial for the development of evidence-based policies and informed, democratic decision making. Science Europe and ANR are co-organising a conference to discuss how research organisations can respond to growing concerns and reinforce confidence in the research process and its outcomes.
As part of its efforts to support the Ukrainian research ecosystem during the ongoing war, Science Europe and NRFU are jointly organising three online workshops between September 2025 and February 2026 to address the current priority areas for Ukrainian research.
The 2025 High Level Workshop is co-organised with UKRI and RCN. Topic for discussion will be 'Collaboration, competition and protection in an ERA of uncertainty: the role of research security'.
The second workshop in our series on research co-operation with other world regions focuses on collaboration with Asia. It directly follows the GRC European Regional Meeting on 22 October in Belgrade. Asian and European research organisations will share good practices and opportunities to work together.
This scoping review examines the contributions and unintended consequences of open science in realising results that align with key research culture values such as equity, openness, integrity, care, collaboration, and autonomy.
Commissioned by Science Europe, this review is the result of a collaboration between CWTS and the Know Center.
This report summarises the outcomes of the webinar on 'The Potential of Rapid Evidence Synthesis for Environmental Action.' It highlights key discussions on how rapid and living approaches to synthesising scientific evidence can accelerate environmental action and support evidence-based policymaking.
Science Europe's recommendations on the European Innovation Act emphasise support for excellent research, breakthrough innovation, and strong alignment with the upcoming ERA Act. The Act should maintain Horizon Europe’s autonomy for R&I-focused projects, foster talent circulation, strengthen research-industry collaboration, and enhance access to Research and Technology Infrastructures.
Science Europe has submitted its response to the European Commission’s Call for Evidence on the upcoming European Research Area (ERA) Act. The ERA Act represents a major opportunity to create a true single market for research and innovation – often referred to as the “fifth freedom” – by strengthening research excellence, shared values, and cross-border collaboration.
Science Europe made excellent progress on its research policy priorities in 2024, delivering key outputs in various areas, including science communication, research assessment, open science, the sustainability of research, international collaboration, and equality, diversity, and inclusion.
This webinar will explore the potential of rapid evidence synthesis in ensuring a fluid delivery of science-based solutions to policy makers and other stakeholders who work on the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change.
