IS THE EU'S NEW RESEARCH LAW DOING TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE?
The upcoming #ERAact is a huge deal for #OpenScience, but more laws aren't always the only possible answer to get research flowing freely across Europe.

THE ERA ACT, OPEN SCIENCE & THE FREEDOM TO STAY
The European Research Area Act (#ERAact) promises a #5thFreedom: free movement of knowledge.
But what about those who stay?
By reforming #copyright & information law, Europe can make this work for all.

🧠 The #5thFreedom is more than a metaphor—it’s a roadmap for Europe’s future.
Thomas Sturm calls for a borderless #ERA where researchers, knowledge & funding move freely.
Let’s make it a right, not just a goal!
