SIE2 · Science in Europe 2

Through the 2007 Work Programme, which specifically included measures to support the ""promotion of science by audiovisual means via European coproductions and the circulation of science programmes"", the EBU and the DG Research have started a concrete collaboration which is already showing its first tangible results.Through that framework agreement a total of 12 hours of scientific TV Programmes have been cofinanced and are already being shown on European and extra-European TV screens.Building on that ongoing cooperation, the project 'Science in Europe 2' therefore aims to enhance the knowledge and the awareness of scientific research in Europe in some key fields by improving the presence of science on European screens and to contribute to a better understanding between scientists, science communicators and the public, with a particular attention given to younger audience.""
