Making information on STI activities available internationally or for specific target groups providing valued trustful information is important for the transnational visibility of scientific achievements.
European Science-Media Hub (ESMH) is a project of the European Parliament’s Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA). It was launched in 2017 and works under the guidance and the political responsibility of the STOA Panel. It aims to create a network between scientists and the media: Setting up and maintaining contacts within and among the science and media communities, via seminars, workshops, conferences and other events involving science, academia, educational and research entities, and professional associations of journalists and scientists. Furthermore, ESMH encourages learning from each other: Offering opportunities for journalists and other communicators to attend or follow physical or online seminars and coaching or mentoring programmes, or establishing contacts to help improve their ability to identify trustworthy sources and report on sound science and also to share knowledge and follow media trends: Making information available to journalists, other media and citizens about new scientific developments, as well as about scientific topics that attract media attention; and tracking the most popular topics in the field of science and technology on different platforms: magazines, newspapers, blogs and social media, via media monitoring and media intelligence tools.
EU Cyber Direct (EU Cyber Diplomacy and Resilience Clusters) is implemented jointly by the EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) and Stiftung Neue Verantwortung (SNV).

Science Media Centre (SMC), from the UK, has its roots in the influential House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee third report on Science and Society, which wanted to renew public trust in science. Established in 2002, it was originally based in the Royal Institution of Great Britain, until becoming a separate charity in its own right in April 2011. The Centre is now housed in the Wellcome Collection and believes that scientists can have a huge impact on the way the media cover scientific issues, by engaging more quickly and more effectively with the stories that are influencing public debate and attitudes to science.SMCs mission is to provide, for the benefit of the public and policymakers, accurate and evidence-based information about science and engineering through the media, particularly on controversial and headline news stories when most confusion and misinformation occurs.
