Thanks to a large network of member organisations and to a strong collaboration with the European Commission's institutes and agencies, the ERAWATCH Network provides an up-to-date overview on the European research landscape.
The ESF is an association of 75 member organisations devoted to scientific research in 30 European countries. Since we were established in 1974, it has coordinated a wide range of pan-European scientific initiatives, and our flexible organisation structure means we can respond quickly to new developments.

ESF's core purpose is to promote high quality science at a European level.
The ESF is committed to facilitating cooperation and collaboration in European science on behalf of its principal stakeholders (Member Organisations and Europe's scientific community). This cross-border activity combines both 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' approaches in the long-term development of science.
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.
