The '''European Science Foundation''' ('''ESF''') is an association of 11 member organizations devoted to [[scientific research]] in 8 [[Europe]]an countries.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}} ESF is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization that promotes science in [[Europe]]. It was established in 1974 and its offices are located in [[Strasbourg]], [[France]] (headquarters).

ESF Member Organizations are research-performing and research-funding organizations, academies and learned societies across Europe.

After four decades of stimulating European research through its networking, ESF undertook a re-alignment and re-calibration of its strategic vision and focus. The launch of its Expert division "Science Connect" beginning of 2017 marks the next phase of its evolution and has been born out of an understanding of the science landscape, funding context and the needs of the research community.
