An open exploration for knowledge broadens our horizons and creates the society of tomorrow. High expections are set for scientists regarding the tackeling of the challenges of our time; from climate change and pandemics to migration and a democratic and resilient Internet. How is viable and innovative research best nurtured? What forms of funding provides the best conditions? How free should the universities be? How can young talent be attracted to science – and be enticed to stay? How much space is there for curiosity – and for application?
