The European Union is a major driver of scientific research. Stories of European-Australian Research highlights the scope of collaboration between Europe and Australia that spans almost every discipline.

These include:

• Breeding grapevine varieties to be resilient in the face of warming temperatures;
• Building the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the biggest scientific instrument in the world;
• Designing 3D printers to make carbon fibre on an industrial scale;
• Overcoming the engineering challenges of hypersonic travel;
• Constructing, launching and operating CubeSats.
• And many more.
