EU Projects

Science|Business offers an echo chamber for EU-funded projects seeking to strengthen the dissemination and outreach of their activities and results.

We can join project consortia or provide targeted communication support to translate outcomes into policy recommendations and deepen projects’ impact. Activities may include content pieces,  policy debates, science communication activities, and online promotion to highlight key milestones and outcomes.

Science Comes to Town

Science Comes to Town is a new flagship Horizon Europe initiative that connects science, innovation, and citizens across Europe. Three science cities—Kiel, Brest, and Split—are joining forces to deliver the first year-long, coordinated programme dedicated to bringing research and innovation into the everyday lives of cities and communities. The initiative will feature over 1,000 activities, uniting more than 70 partners across Kiel, Brest, and Split and their surrounding regions, linking scientific institutions, innovation ecosystems, and citizens throughout Europe.

ATTRACT logo

ATTRACT Project

Funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, the ATTRACT project fostered a co-innovation ecosystem linking fundamental research and industry to develop breakthrough detection and imaging technologies for scientific and commercial use. In 2018, ATTRACT Phase 1 launched an Open Call supporting 170 pioneering projects with €100,000 each to bridge the gap between research and market needs. Phase 2, launched in 2021, provided €25 million to advance the most promising technologies with strong scientific, industrial and societal potential. Two additional calls expanded the initiative: the Academy Call, engaging Aalto and Esade students in applying design thinking to address Sustainable Development Goals; and the Socioeconomic Studies Call, generating data and insights to assess and forecast ATTRACT’s broader value and impact for Europe.

TRESCA logo

TRESCA

Post-truth, fake news, and misinformation undermine trust in scientific information, raising doubts about its credibility. As media trust declines, the effects on science communication are particularly harmful, enabling propaganda and conspiracy theories. In Europe, media ranks among the least trusted democratic institutions (Edelman Trust Barometer, 2018), yet it remains the primary channel for translating and sharing scientific knowledge with the public. The TRESCA project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 program, addressed this issue by studying how to strengthen trust in science communication.

ERC=Science² logo

ERC=Science²

ERC=Science² is a Horizon 2020–funded Europe-wide campaign that uses themes like “cities of the future” and “music” to showcase breakthrough research funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and its impact on society. Over 42 months, it engaged both experts and the public through multimedia storytelling (interactive features, videos, cartoons, augmented reality, and pop-up displays in museums and festivals). More than 75 storytelling events are planned across Europe. Led by Science|Business, the consortium included EMUNI, Ecsite, Vision2020, Ciência Viva, EIRMA, the University of Zagreb, and University College Cork, spanning 37 countries with strong science communication networks.
