INSPIRING ERA is pleased to announce the publication of its first thematic factsheet, focused on Bringing Science Closer to Citizens. This factsheet presents goals of Bringing Science Closer to Citizens action, inspiring examples, practical insights and key recommendations for strengthening the connection between science and society. It is designed to support researchers, institutions, and policymakers across Europe in implementing effective public engagement strategies.

Bringing science closer to citizens is essential for increasing trust, transparency, and relevance in research and innovation. By empowering individuals and communities to engage with science, ERA contributes to a more inclusive and democratic research ecosystem. We invite all stakeholders to read, share, and make use of this resource in support of a more connected and impactful European Research Area.
