About the journal

A place for research in public conversation.

European Science is an editorial journal for thoughtful, accessible discussion of research, the people who practise it and the questions it raises across Europe.

Scientific equipment used for observation and analysis
Research becomes more useful when its context is shared.
Our purpose

Clear reporting, informed reflection and useful exchange

European Science covers the conversations that surround research: how knowledge is made and communicated, how scientific careers develop, and how evidence meets policy and public life.

Our editorial scope includes research culture, science communication, education, innovation, funding, ethics and the changing conditions of academic and professional work. We aim to make complex subjects readable without losing their important distinctions.

The journal welcomes considered contributions and topic suggestions that can help readers understand a question, its setting and its implications. Articles are intended for researchers, students, communicators, policy readers and others interested in the practice of science.

Our editorial position

European Science presents independent editorial material. Contributors remain responsible for the views expressed in their work; publication does not imply that every perspective represents the position of the journal.

How we work

Make ideas legible

We favour precise language and careful explanation over unnecessary complexity or broad claims.

Link perspectives

Articles bring research into conversation with careers, institutions, policy and public life.
