Applying an ‘EU preference’ to advanced science and technology will only increase Europe’s strategic vulnerabilities.

As AI systems increasingly reason from the scientific literature, the integrity signals that make research trustworthy - open data, structured metadata, robust retraction processes - matter more than ever. 

Science's credibility issues stem from the deliberate manipulation of research designs and model specifications.

To remain cutting edge and competitive, the United States need to take tactical steps to foster better, more supportive science policy - including a strategic reset that seeks out global talent, diversifies funding sources, and clearly defines strategic priorities.

Explaining and defending knowledge is as essential to the scientific enterprise as publishing research.

As Australia agrees to associate, questions remain over whether the programme will be genuinely international, or EU-first.

With funding cuts hampering academic science budgets, industrial science can play a pivotal role in supporting research.
