Echoing the initiative launched in the United States, this national day aims to denounce the threats to research. Disinformation, censorship, drastic cuts in funding leading to the termination of health or environmental research programs... The questioning of established scientific facts goes against free research.

Ethics and scientific integrity are values that UniLaSalle holds dear. We therefore lend our full support to this mobilization and express our solidarity with researchers in countries facing these challenges. We encourage the French scientific community to preserve and strengthen existing international collaborations.

More than ever, science must remain a common good, based on rigor, sharing and academic freedom.
