A Vision & Framework for Research Cultures

Science Europe's Vision and Framework for Research Cultures brings together its recent work across various policy topics, focussing it on the shared objectives of R&I systems to advance knowledge and enable the quality and impact of research.

Eight goals are presented as part of a comprehensive vision to guide further action over the coming decades. They cover attractive careers in research, diverse representation, open and inclusive science, rigour, and more. As our research system evolves ever more quickly, it is vital to remain grounded in shared values and develop long-term perspectives.

Alongside the Vision, a supporting Framework sets out conditions to enable effective action, and Science Europe makes several commitments to act and support actions.

This document will serve as an important reference for Science Europe's activities on research cultures in the coming years. It aims to contribute to longer-term strategic discussions on the direction of research systems in Europe and beyond.
