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.
Science Europe has responded to the European Commission Call-for-Evidence on a Fair Labour Mobility Package, emphasising that equitable and inclusive career and mobility opportunities for research professionals are central to the effectiveness, attractiveness, and quality of the European Research Area. The response builds on Science Europe’s long-standing commitment to improving research careers and mobility, as reflected in its previous policy positions and activities on careers and working conditions in research.
The Global Summits on Diamond Open Access are pivotal gatherings that bring together stakeholders from around the globe to advance a community-led scholarly publishing model without financial barriers for authors or readers. The third Global Summit takes place from 2–6 February 2026 in Bengaluru, India.
This report summarises the discussions and key conclusions of the second webinar in the NRFU–Science Europe Webinar Series 'Building Capacity in the Ukrainian Research and Innovation Ecosystem,' which explored monitoring tools for R&D projects.
Science Europe has responded to the European Commission’s public consultation on the proposed European Research Area (ERA) Act, setting out the collective views of its Member Organisations on how the legislation can effectively strengthen framework conditions for research and innovation, while safeguarding academic freedom, institutional autonomy, and the diversity of national research systems.
Science Europe and the European Network of Research Integrity Offices (ENRIO) launch a joint statement that reinforces their shared commitment to strengthening research integrity across Europe.
This statement presents the overall conclusions from the 2025 High Level Workshop, co-organised by the Research Council of Norway (RCN), UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and Science Europe on 18–20 November in Oslo, Norway.
It highlights the shared commitment to strengthening a resilient, collaborative, and secure European R&I ecosystem, and outlines the key themes that emerged from the discussions.
As part of the upcoming EU High-Level Conference on Reforming Research Assessment (CERRA2025) on 3-4 December in Copenhagen, CoARA invites its community and interested parties attending the conference in Copenhagen to join the celebration of the third anniversary of the coalition!
The 2025 High Level Workshop was co-organised with UKRI and RCN. Topic for discussion was 'Collaboration, competition and protection in an ERA of uncertainty: the role of research security'.
Science Europe has published a new position statement on how the next EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation should connect with the European Competitiveness Fund (ECF) to strengthen Europe’s knowledge base and long-term competitiveness,focusing on on five key themes: Objectives; Budget; R&I Development and Governance; Association to Horizon Europe and Participation of Associated Countries; and Additional Practical Issues.
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'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.
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.
The second workshop on FP10 addressed the position of the upcoming Framework Programme for R&I in the Multiannual Financial Framework and its relation to the proposed Competitiveness Fund. The summary highlights concerns about prioritising short-term economic gain over fundamental research and SSHA disciplines.
Science Europe has responded to the European Commission’s public consultation on the next Multiannual Financial Framework. It focuses on establishing a strong and ambitious MFF that strategically aligns national and EU research funding, and includes a ringfenced budget for FP10.
Science Europe is working together with CWTS and the Know Center to investigate the links between open science and research cultures.
Science Europe proudly presents its statement, 'Working Together for a Strong and Standalone FP10', reaffirming the vital role of a dedicated EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme. Building on shared commitments from the European Parliament, EU research ministers, and the ERC and EIC, we advocate for an ambitious FP10 within the 2027 Multiannual Financial Framework. This programme must prioritise scientific freedom, curiosity-driven research, and a robust, independent R&I ecosystem to secure Europe’s long-term strategic, societal, and competitive future.
