[LMU-OSC News] Without science, there is no open science

[LMU Open Science Center News]

Dear all,

the EU plans to cut the budget for research funding by 33%, from 120B 
€ to 81B €.

There is an open letter to the European Commission President. You can 
join multiple nobel laureates and > 1000 other researchers to protest 
against these cuts: http://www.rescue-horizon-europe.org/

 From the initiative's website:

> The drastic cuts to European research will have devastating effects on 
> our ability to address major challenges of our times – including 
> climate change, pandemics, quantum technology, artificial intelligence 
> or personal medicine. It will inevitably lead to exodus of scientific 
> excellence, technological dependencies, and diminished patient care. 
> It will limit Europe’s ability to innovate and to develop a more 
> prosperous and sustainable economy.

> We want to remind you that behind political discussions and budget 
> decisions arranged behind closed doors, there are real people, 
> exceptionally talented scientists, who will leave Europe; real 
> scientific questions that will not be answered; real progress that 
> will not happen. All of that to the detriment of the people whom you 
> have sworn to serve.

Best,
Felix
