European early career researcher group calls on governments to provide legal frameworks for fair conditions
Academic freedom requires reasonable working conditions for researchers and fair assessment of their work, a group representing early career researchers in Europe has asserted.
The European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers, or Eurodoc, stressed the importance of these elements of academic freedom in a statement on the topic on 15 March, which focused on institutional aspects ahead of the publication of a second statement on individual freedoms later this year.
