 /></p><p>Academic freedom is widely recognised as a key condition for funct
 ioning of open and democratic societies that adhere to the rule of law. Sim
 ilarly, full realisation of academic freedom is unlikely when these values 
 are being challenged. At the times when academic freedom and trust in scien
 ce gradually erode in Europe, this annual Panel for the Future of Science a
 nd Technology (STOA) conference focuses on the relationship between academi
 c freedom and democracy, as well as policy initiatives that support these v
 alues.</p><p>The conference will allow policy makers and scholars discuss t
 he following questions: What is the role of academic freedom in democracy? 
 What are the policies and policy initiatives that acknowledge their relatio
 nship and support them? What trends do we observe in the state of both demo
 cracy and academic freedom?</p><p>More information, programme and registrat
 ion are available <a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/stoa/en/events/de
