The Limits of Academic Freedom
Curated by Anke Beck from Frontiers, this discussion examines threats to academic freedom from political, economic, and social forces. It covers how restrictive data-sharing and reduced funding for "undesirable" research undermine Open Science. The talk emphasises the importance of international collaboration and free access to information while warning policymakers that regulating research risks stifling innovation and hindering the independent pursuit of knowledge.
