Advertising in Research Review

Reflecting on the dynamic and changing world of European research, The Parliament Magazine's Research Review brings you the bigger picture on Europe’s research and innovation developments.

As a sister publication to The Parliament Magazine Research Review aims to break down the barriers between scientist and layman with regular features on the development of FP7 and the EU's key research institutions.

Endorsed and read by Ex-Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potočnik, the magazine demonstrates that research is not just about test tubes, periodic tables and scientists in white coats; it’s about innovation, globalisation, challenge and change.

The magazine is circulated to influential decision makers in European research, complementing the activities of Europe's research establishments, sharing in the successes of its star projects and acting as a forum for research policy makers.

EU co-funded project dissemination and mainstreaming

The Research Review is used by a wide variety of EU co-funded projects to disseminate to policymakers across the EU institutions, at national and regional level and to a wider audience of policy specialists and EU stakeholders.

Showcasing your project's aims and successes allows for an exchange of best practice and information.
