Article Abstract:
The European Science Foundation (ESF), which was established in 1974, is struggling to establish a clear identity even after more than thirty years and its new mission statement is an attempt to identify its place in the evolving system. The ESF members have failed to deliver the money that is required to do the job despite their recognition that basic scientific research needs to be supported at the European level.

It is currently under relatively new leadership, and its relationship with the European research councils and research communities is being reviewed.
