This petition reflects the mobilisation of research communities, including younger scientists, the members of learned societies and of concerned citizens. It complements the open letter of 44 European Nobel Laureates and 6 Fields Medallists recently published in the major European newspapers.

ERC Starting Grant holders, organised in the Young Academy of Europe, are some of the first signatories of the petition, which also stresses the importance of funding provided by the European Research Council (ERC) for the attractiveness of Europe for top researchers.

The petition is coordinated by the Initiative for Science in Europe (ISE).
