ESConet (the European Science Communication network) is part of enabling the vision of Europe's vision for Science and Society to become reality, by training scientific researchers to communicate with the media and their fellow Europeans. The team combines the talents of media and policy professionals with a solid basis in science communication training.

This training programme is in response to a very specific request by the European Commission under its Framework 7 funding scheme for training to improve the abilities of high-level EC-funded scientists "to interact with national and international media, especially the audiovisual ones ... It should also include training to use new media with the objective to establish better dialogue with society ...".
