SCIENCEVIEW MEDIA BV

Their core work

ScienceView Media BV is a Dutch science communication company based in Hilversum — the heart of the Netherlands' broadcasting and media industry. They specialize in translating complex agricultural and environmental research into accessible content for farmers, policymakers, and industry audiences. Their core contribution to EU research consortia is professional-grade communication, dissemination, and public engagement: turning scientific outputs into materials that reach beyond the academic world. With participation in both a soil health program and a water quality program, they serve consistently as the dedicated media and outreach arm of large international research collaborations.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both of ScienceView Media's recorded H2020 projects started within a single year of each other (2016 and 2017), making it difficult to trace a meaningful evolution in focus. Their activity stayed within the food and agriculture domain across both engagements, moving from soil health (SOILCARE) to water quality (FAirWAY) — a natural thematic progression within sustainable agriculture. No keyword data is available to track finer-grained shifts in emphasis, and with only two projects the record is too thin to distinguish deliberate repositioning from coincidence.

With only two closely-timed projects in agricultural communication, the trend signal is limited — but their consistent positioning as a media partner in large food-sector RIA consortia suggests a stable specialist niche rather than an evolving research trajectory.

How they like to work

ScienceView Media consistently joins as a participant rather than leading consortia, a pattern typical of specialist service providers brought in for a defined scope — in their case, communication and dissemination. Both projects involved very large consortia: 48 unique partners across 19 countries for just two projects means they regularly operate alongside 20-30 organizations per engagement. This makes them practiced at contributing within complex, multi-partner structures without needing to manage them.

Despite a small project portfolio, ScienceView Media has built connections with 48 distinct consortium partners across 19 countries — reflecting the large, pan-European consortia typical of RIA food-sector programs. Their network is broadly European with no apparent geographic concentration beyond their Dutch base.

What sets them apart

ScienceView Media occupies a niche that few research organizations can fill: professional media production rooted in science. Based in Hilversum — the production capital of Dutch broadcasting — they bring infrastructure and media industry know-how that most academic or research partners simply don't have. For consortium builders looking to meet EU communication and dissemination requirements with high-quality output, a dedicated science media SME is a more credible choice than assigning communication tasks to a research partner as an afterthought.

Highlights from their portfolio

• FAirWAY
  The larger of their two projects (EUR 45,375 EC contribution), FAirWAY addressed the link between farming practices and drinking water contamination — a topic with direct regulatory and public health relevance across Europe.
• SOILCARE
  A multi-year pan-European soil management program (2016-2021) focused on making sustainable crop production economically viable, giving ScienceView a platform for communicating agricultural science to a wide farming and policy audience.
