ESOF(Euroscience Open Forum)is the open forum organized by Euroscience, a pan-European association of individuals interested in constructing scientific Europe? “from the bottom-up", which held every two years? “Provide an open forum for debate on science and technology" is one of the main purposes of ESOF, which the organization was designed to play a role as AAAS(American Association of Advancement of Science) annual meeting as in United States.I,among several participants from Japan, attended the second forum,“ESOF2006"in Munich,July 2006.In this report,I describe the outline of the ESOF2006 meeting comparing with AAAS annual meeting and “Science Agora" in Japan. ESOF is on the way of development to be a greater meeting which represents whole European science and the relationships between science and society.For their successful development,there may be a need to acquire the more attention from general researchers by accomplishments of their serious demands.These situations are quite similar as “Science Agora"in Japan.
