NSF Europe Office

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a United States government agency responsible for promoting basic research and education in science and engineering. International activities are supported throughout the NSF portfolio. The Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) has a leadership role in promoting and coordinating international cooperation and manages NSF's overseas offices in Paris, Tokyo and Beijing.

The NSF Europe Office is affiliated with the American Embassy in Paris and facilitates NSF activities in Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. The Office is located in the NEO building in downtown Paris. The NSF Europe Office has three major roles:

• Facilitation: Promote collaboration between the science and engineering communities of the United States and Europe.
• Representation: Serve as a liaison between NSF and agencies, institutions and researchers throughout Europe.
• Reporting: Monitor and report on science and engineering developments and policies in Europe.

The NSF Europe office does not review proposals or administer awards. For funding opportunities, go to the NSF homepage. For country-specific funding questions, see NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering Staff by Country.
