European science policy is as dynamic as ever. The new chief scientific advisor position to the European Commission President has been filled. National research councils are becoming more organized with the new Science Europe organization. Bottom-up research is increasingly supported at the European level. A bigger and larger EU research funding program, “Horizon 2020,” will be launched next year from the European Commission. Four high-level experts will be asked to address questions about where European science policy is headed.
