About the European Commission
The European Commission (EC) is the executive arm of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding EU treaties, and managing the EU budget. It plays a key role in ensuring that EU laws and policies are applied uniformly across all Member States, negotiating international agreements on behalf of the Union, and allocating financial support to strategic initiatives.

Funded by the European Union
The European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) is funded by the European Union through Horizon Europe, the EU’s Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. The contest is part of the broader EU initiative to strengthen the relationship between science and society, promote responsible research and innovation, and support the growth of the European Research Area (ERA). The contest is managed by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission.
Since its inception, the European Commission’s support has ensured EUCYS not only receives stable funding but also thrives as a hub for international scientific collaboration. By facilitating connections among leading European research institutions, the Commission enables young scientists to exchange ideas, build lasting professional networks, and access unique career-building opportunities that extend far beyond the competition.
