Europe's scientific cooperation with Russia halts in response to the war
SMC Spain

The European spacecraft that was to investigate whether Mars harboured life in the past will no longer fly. The satellite that was to study dark energy in the universe is delayed and a robotic telescope at the Teide Observatory stops working. Europe used to spend tens of millions of euros on scientific collaboration with Russia. But no more.

We are part of the international network of Science Media Centres, which started with the creation of the UK SMC in 2002. Although each has its own identity, we share the same philosophy: “The media will DO science better when scientists DO the media better”.
