📢 Join us for an essential discussion this Friday: Stand Up for Science – A Global Necessity
Scientific integrity is under threat worldwide, with growing risks to public health, research, and evidence-based decision-making. As attacks on science escalate, solidarity and action are crucial.
These threats are not just local - they have global consequences. Europe has an opportunity to take a leadership role, providing a safe haven for scientific knowledge, skills, and resources at risk of being lost.
This webinar is part of the global Stand Up for Science initiative, which emphasizes that science must remain independent, publicly funded, and free from political interference. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gbNjRKtd
