Pro-EU organisations

There are a great many organisations that believe we are better off remaining as full members of the EU. Scientists for EU is keen to promote those pro-EU communities and their campaigns because we are stronger together. Listed below are some of those campaigns and we are always happy to hear from more.

Greens for a better Europe logo

Greens for Europe is the official campaign by the Green Party that supports continued EU membership for Britain.

NHS Against Brexit is the grassroots campaign fighting to protect UK health and social care from the negative effect Brexit would have on the country.
