YOURIS.COM

Their core work

YOURIS.COM is a Brussels-based science communication and media organization that specializes in making EU-funded research visible and accessible to the public. They join research consortia as the communication and dissemination partner, producing video content, social media campaigns, and public engagement activities. Their portfolio spans energy, food, security, and environment — not because they do technical research in all these fields, but because they translate complex science into compelling media across sectors. Their coordinated project EFFECT explicitly focused on communication and outreach for Future and Emerging Technologies.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

YOURIS.COM's early H2020 work (2015-2016) was concentrated on energy and urban sustainability projects — smart cities, building envelopes, renewable energy crowdfunding, and low-carbon construction materials. In the later period (2016-2018), their portfolio diversified significantly into bioeconomy awareness, organized crime modelling, water infrastructure, and explicit communication roles like EFFECT. This shift suggests a deliberate move from sector-specific dissemination toward positioning as a generalist science media partner capable of communicating any research topic to broad audiences.

YOURIS.COM is evolving from an energy-focused communication partner into a sector-agnostic science media platform, making them a versatile dissemination partner for any thematic area.

How they like to work

Overwhelmingly a participant (12 of 15 projects), YOURIS.COM joins large consortia as the dedicated communication and dissemination partner rather than leading technical work. With 205 unique partners across 31 countries, they operate as a network hub — rarely working with the same partners twice, instead plugging into new consortia each time. This means they bring extensive cross-project connections and know how to integrate quickly into diverse teams, but they are a service provider to the consortium rather than a scientific driver.

With 205 unique consortium partners spanning 31 countries, YOURIS.COM has one of the broadest collaboration networks among communication-focused SMEs. Their Brussels base and pan-European project portfolio give them contacts across virtually every EU member state.

What sets them apart

YOURIS.COM fills the specific niche of professional science media production within EU consortia — they are not a research organization, a consultancy, or a generic PR firm, but a dedicated science-to-public communication house. Their value lies in their ability to take any technical research topic and produce accessible video, web, and social media content that satisfies EU dissemination requirements. For consortium builders, they offer a proven track record of handling Work Package communication deliverables across 15 projects and every major H2020 pillar.

Highlights from their portfolio

• REMOURBAN
  Largest single EC contribution (EUR 959,597) — a flagship smart city project demonstrating YOURIS.COM's capacity to handle communication for major urban transformation initiatives.
• EFFECT
  One of two coordinated projects, and the most revealing of their core identity: entirely dedicated to communication, social media, and public engagement for Future and Emerging Technologies.
• WADI
  Coordinated a technically-oriented project on water leak detection via remote sensing (EUR 462K) — an unusual departure from their typical communication-partner role.
