Europe was built on a simple promise: freedom, rights, equality.
Democracy must be defended every day - with facts & knowledge.
Without science, facts fade; without facts, democracy weakens.
Invest in science. Protect democracy.

Have you heard of post-truth politics? 💭
It centres around the "changing status of truth in political discourse."
To better understand this phenomenon, we spoke to the @RECLAIM_HEU coordinator Dr. @maxconrad: europa.eu/!QwNtGP

Today, on #EuropeDay, let's reflect on the journey of solidarity that began in 1950.
As war looms over Europe, we need to work together to build a better future. Horizon Research, with projects like DE-CONSPIRATOR, plays a crucial role in this effort.
