The biggest challenges we face do not stop at borders. At today’s ministerial roundtable in Munich, we discussed how stronger cooperation across countries and disciplines can turn Europe’s research strength into solutions for climate, energy and food security.

I strongly condemn Russia’s drone strike on the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv. Science is about building the future, not destroying it. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and the Ukrainian scientific community. Europe stands with Ukraine! #StandWithUkraine #StopTheWar #ScienceForPeace #RU #UA
