Europe

The European Science Foundation (ESF) is an association of 78 member organisations devoted to scientific research in 30 European countries. ESF's core purpose is to promote high quality science at a European level. The Foundation is committed to providing scientific leadership through its networking expertise and by ensuring that there is a European added value to all of its initiatives and projects. It represents most of scientific disciplines: physical and engineering sciences, life, earth and environmental sciences, medical sciences, humanities and social sciences (including pedagogical and educational Research). The Foundation assists its Member Organisations in two main ways. It brings scientists together in its Scientific Forward Looks, Exploratory Workshops, Programmes, Networks, EUROCORES (ESF Collaborative Research Programmes), and European Research Conferences, to work on topics of common concern including Research Infrastructures. It also conducts the joint studies of issues of strategic importance in European science policy and manages, on behalf of its Member Organisations, grant schemes, such as EURYI (European Young Investigator Awards).
