The Stick to Science initiative has been set up by the European research community calling for open and barrier-free research and innovation collaborations in Europe and beyond.

The initiative is an active response to the delayed progression of association agreements with Switzerland and the United Kingdom, which are being held up by political barriers that have nothing to do with science.

It also aims at keeping the continent competitive and solving global challenges together for the benefit of society. Visit their website and show your support!
