Focus Areas

Open Access

We aim to focus on Open Access by advocating for the fact that knowledge is targeted at any person or stakeholder interested and access should thus not be limited to certain groups of people. Medical Science Pillar aims to work with external partners wherever appropriate, to advocate for a Europe that has the freedom of research via maintaining an environment, in which information is accessible.

Science Literacy

We aim to improve science literacy by advocating for the inclusion of research skills in the medical curricula and supporting the quality and quantity of science classes in medical schools. Medical Science Pillar advocates to create an environment for free scientific discussions and to stand up against mis- and disinformation.
