The Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and SwissCore organise a Science Briefing on academic freedom: Academic freedom is a basic tenet that underpins scientific progress and encompasses the freedom to pursue research, teach and study without unreasonable interference. However, in recent years, academic freedom is increasingly coming under pressure. This Science Briefing therefore addresses questions such as: What is the state of affairs of academic freedom in Europe and globally? How can science communities contribute to prevent a further erosion of academic freedom? What are the implications on international scientific cooperation involving nations with different value systems?
The two keynote speakers are Prof. Martina Caroni, University of Lucerne and the Swiss Academies’ Delegate for Human Rights, and Christian Ehler, Member of the European Parliament and Chair of the Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA). The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion with four distinctive panellists and a networking reception.
All information related to the event can be found in the announcement on the website of Swisscore.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
