EuroScience Open Forum
The EuroScience Open Forum is a transdisciplinary science conference created in 2004 by EuroScience. It brings together scientists, policy makers and all other people interested in science and trechnology. ESOF offers an independent arena for open and critical dialogue on science, scientific practice and its impact on society. It is an inspirational melting pot which generates new ideas and actions for the future of science.
As a truly pan-European event, ESOF is organized every two years in a different European city to highlight the richnesss and diversity of the European research landscape and foster mutual leaning. Host cities have been so far Stockholm (2004), Munich (2006), Barcelona (2008), Turin (2010), Dublin (2012), Copenhagen (2014), Manchester (2016), Toulouse (2018), Trieste (2020) and Leiden and the regional Site Katowice (2022).
ESOF is promoting inclusivity and openness and is therefore free of charge for speakers and presenters.
It is also a unique opportunity for networking across all career levels and sectors from scientific institutions over funders, to policy makers.
