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.
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 is looking for a Policy Officer on International Research Collaboration to join its team in Brussels.
Applications are open until 5 October.
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'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.
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.
