European research

The name of the magazine is research*eu and as the name implies it is the official research magazine of the European Union. However, unlike what you may think the magazine is far from a boring technocratic description of European research projects. It is true that it focuses on large research projects funded by the European Commission, but the magazine is independent and has a dedicated staff of professional journalists. Besides covering European research projects, it also covers events and small research notices through the European Union. It, furthermore, sometimes covers special topics from a global perspective. The latest issue, for instance, has an in depth coverage of climate change, but also covers topics such as the 2007 Polar Year, nanotechnology and a scientist portrait.
