ESF considers European Framework projects as fundamental opportunities to address complex societal challenges. Active in EU-funded project since FP6, ESF has in recent years developed considerable experience in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe projects.
ESF has developed good knowledge of several domains, with a particular focus on Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) governance, ethics, gender studies, open access, research infrastructures, space & material sciences.
ESF’s science management expertise naturally complements the scientific skills developed by research institutes and universities.
Involvement of ESF enables a smoother implementation of projects, their integration into a wider context, and a better reach into the community. Partner institutions therefore increase the value of their proposals and eventually increase the impact of their activities.
