Innovation lab | The 5th Freedom: Julien Chicot (The Guild)
In collaboration with KnowledgeRights21, we proudly present the 5th Freedom project in our innovation lab!
🔎 In this edition of Innovation Lab, we dive into why the free movement of knowledge—the proposed 5th Freedom—is not just a policy ambition but a structural necessity for Europe’s resilience and competitiveness. Julien Chicot, Head of Research Innovation Policy at The Guild, outlines the cultural and legal barriers still holding back research collaboration, and makes a compelling case for turning the European Research Area (ERA) into a truly enabling space for scientists and society alike.
Key quotes:
🗣️ “Cross-border collaboration is simply critical to scientific excellence in Europe.”
🗣️ “We need an ERA Act, just to ensure that researchers are never denied access to data just because of legal uncertainties.”
🗣️ “It’s only by being together that they can effectively identify the challenges, but also the solutions for the free movement of knowledge in Europe.”
🗣️ “We have to turn our diversity into an asset to push the frontier of knowledge.”
🗣️ “Our universities look forward to solutions that will help researchers to access any type of data under fair conditions.”
