In collaboration with KnowledgeRights21, we proudly present the 5th Freedom project in our innovation lab!
š In our latest Innovation Lab, we explore why free circulation of knowledge and researchersāthe so-called 5th Freedomāisnāt just a legal aspiration, but an urgent necessity for Europe's future. With sharp insights from Kurt Deketelaere, Secretary-General of LERU, we dig into the roots, roadblocks, and real possibilities for turning the European Research Area (ERA) into a functioning legal reality.
Key quotes:
š£ļø āThe European Research Area is a legal obligation. Itās time we treat it as such.ā
š£ļø āAfter 25 years of voluntary measures, we must acknowledge that real progress now depends on a legislative initiative.ā
š£ļø āThe 5th Freedomāof knowledge and researchersāshould be just as enforceable as the freedoms of goods, services, people, and capital.ā
š£ļø āWe need a lean, realistic ERA Act: one that anchors core principles and removes national obstacles to free knowledge circulation.ā
š£ļø āItās not just about research. We should build one coherent European Knowledge Areaālinking research, innovation, and education under a single legal framework.ā
