Science for Democracy

Our goal is to promote to promote the Right to Science. The Right to Science is the core of Science for Democracy. Our international platform is committed to protect the Right to Science worldwide and to continuously update our campaigns to reach the critical issues at the forefront of the existing limitations. We believe that the Right to Science is a structural component of liberal democracies and the Rule of Law all over the world. The fulfilment of the Right to Science can be accomplished only if States respect their international obligations, and promote Right to Science in all its forms.

At the European Union level, advocacy is done through outreach activities to Members of the European Parliament and members of the European Commission, some of whom are established partners and regularly take part in Science for Democracy’s events, and through general communication on the themes that fall unders MEPs’ individual responsibility.
