Ecsite is involved in a new Horizon 2020 proposal funded by the European Commission on responsible nanotechnology. We are looking to select around 6 of our members to join us on this proposal as Third Parties.
Last summer Ecsite has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with EAZA, the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and BGCI, Botanic Gardens Conservation International. We are launching a call for Ecsite members to contribute learning materials on local biodiversity to run a joint campaign starting next year.
Ecsite just partnered up with International Innovation, a magazine publishing global insight and analysis on current scientific research trends, as well as funding and policy issues. As such, both partners will now be relaying relevant news across each other’s networks.
We did an early spring clean on the Ecsite website. We hope you enjoy the new look and feel and the easier navigation... Don't hesitate to get in touch with communications@ecsite.eu if you have any comment or question.

What is RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation)? There are a number of possible definitions… Watch this video to see the European Union’s take on this question… and stay tuned for updates from the RRI Tools project, now entering its second year. 26 institutions from 30 countries are participating – including Ecsite and some of its members.
As science engagement professionals, freedom of information and speech is core to our daily values and practices. We believe that science needs open-minded, democratic societies and unhampered exchange of ideas to thrive. We honour the memory of those who died in the Paris attacks. We will keep using our organizations’ power to engage millions of citizens in dialogue and foster tolerance in our societies.
