Stick to Science Initiative: Call for open collaboration

Research and Innovation community urges European leaders to take action on Horizon Europe. A new campaign, launched today, asks EU leaders to place science collaboration before politics, as the UK's and Switzerland's participation in the EU's world-leading research and innovation programme Horizon Europe hangs in the balance. Call for open collaboration The campaign, 'Stick to Science', calls for an open and collaborative research and innovation landscape in Europe that is free from political barriers. The entire European scientific community is invited to sign this initiative as of 8 February under the dedicated website www.stick-to-science.eu. It comes as the UK's and Switzerland's participation in the EU's research and innovation programme continues to be stalled by politics. The UK's final association to Horizon Europe, the EU's ¤95.5 billion research and innovation programme, remains tangled up in post-Brexit trade arrangements, while Switzerland also remains locked out of parts of the programme, pending government talks. In both cases, the EU is putting political disputes ahead of science collaboration.
