S4PXchange is a Horizon Europe initiative dedicated to strengthening Science-for-Policy (S4P) across Europe.

Contributing to the European Research Area Action on Advancing the S4P Ecosystem, the project fosters closer collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and knowledge brokers — helping scientific evidence consistently inform decisions at every level of governance.
