Fix the university-shaped hole in the EU’s grand plan [Op-ed]
If the European Union is to truly make its economy competitive, it must start with knowledge, bringing together those that form Europe’s knowledge base and the policy makers charged with creating the conditions to further develop and leverage it.

Will Open Science survive the EU’s competitiveness agenda?
As the EU embarks on a new push for competitiveness, the role of Open Science is uncertain. While scientific outputs should remain ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary’, the Open Science community must safeguard the progress achieved so far and promote openness as a driver of innovation, collaboration and economic growth.
