ABSTRACT
“The importance of communicating science to the general public cannot be overestimated. Science cannot live isolated from society.” As the words of Janez Potocnik, EU Science and Research Commissioner, clearly demonstrate, there is a political call to the European Union (EU) for supporting science communication. But as we all know, the reality lies in the implementation and not in the mission statements. So let’s see what the EU can offer to science communicators.
