Science Europe co-organised the first European Flagship Conference on Research Security, uniting experts to balance openness, academic freedom, and security in research.
This report provides six key policy messages as the result from a series of workshops, organised between January and June 2025 by the Task Force on Research Security. The workshops dealt with balancing openness, security, and academic freedom with policies and measures to protect national and economic security.
The second workshop in our series on research co-operation with other world regions focused on collaboration with Asia. It directly followed the GRC European Regional Meeting on 22 October in Belgrade. Asian and European research organisations shared good practices and opportunities to work together.
The European Regional Meeting of the Global Research Council served to collect European input to the discussion topics for the 2026 GRC Annual Meeting: Open Science and Sustainable Research. The 2025 European Regional Meeting was co-hosted with HUN-REN and SFRS.
This webinar explored the latest initiatives in monitoring and evidence gathering for open science and research assessment reform, and marked the launch of our new scoping review.
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.
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 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 report summarises the outcomes of the 28 February webinar 'Women in Science: Celebrating Inclusion and Shaping the Future of Research'. It highlights possible avenues for research funding and research performing organisations to improve working environments by addressing equality, diversity, and inclusion.
In May, Science Europe responded to a Call for Evidence by the European Commission on a European Strategy on Research and Technology Infrastructures. The response outlines a number of considerations to be taken towards these infrastructures, which are of fundamental and strategic importance to the ERA.
Science Europe is working together with CWTS and the Know Center to investigate the links between open science and research cultures.
On International Women's Day, Science Europe reaffirms its commitment to advancing equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the European research ecosystem as an essential part of research quality.
