Since 2012 the annual ESS Report proposed by PG meeting (30 March 2012) and welcomed by the ESSC (23–24 May 2012) has been published each year.

The main purpose of the ESS report will be to enhance the visibility of the ESS and to give an overview of the most important achievements of the ESS over the last year. The report should also serve as a general accountability report and, therefore, be understandable for a wide public.
