Science Europe is an association of major research funding organisations (RFOs) and research performing organisations (RPOs).[1] It was established in October 2011 and is based in Brussels.
The association facilitates co-operation among its members and supports excellence in science and research in all disciplines, acting as a platform to develop positions on research policy issues and to address policy messages to the European institutions, researchers, national governments, and the public.
The RFOs and RPOs that make up Science Europe share a common mission: to fund and perform excellent research in a world where scientific communities are less and less shaped by national borders. They also share the responsibility of managing a substantial proportion of national public research investments in Europe. Science Europe was established by its members to act as a platform to share experience and practice, develop, and deploy collective strategies to face their common challenges, as well as to speak with one voice to other science policy stakeholders when it is relevant to do so.
The policy-related work of Science Europe is guided by a roadmap.[2] This document outlines the strategic objectives for Science Europe, as well as nine "Priority Action Areas" on which its member organisations collaborate.
