The European Research Advisory Council was established in 2022 to explore key trends and gather insights and feedback from stakeholders across the European research ecosystem.
Composed of a rotating group of experts with two-year terms, the European Research Advisory Council convenes annually to delve into some of the most pressing challenges in research and scholarly publishing.
To date, its members have provided valuable perspectives on issues such as research integrity, the role of artificial intelligence in research and publishing, international collaboration, equity in publishing, and open science.
One notable outcome of these discussions has been Springer Nature’s partnership with the International Science Council. Together, we have convened experts from diverse fields and regions to identify solutions for supporting scholars at risk and integrating them into the global research community.
Key efforts in this area include raising the visibility of at-risk researchers, providing them with access to journals, and creating opportunities for them to publish and disseminate their work—priorities that have become central to the European Research Advisory Council agenda.
The European Research Advisory Council is one of several research advisory councils established by Springer Nature in collaboration with leading figures from the research community to exchange insights, share expertise, and promote best practices in advancing research and publishing.
