The Bratislava Declaration of Young Researchers was presented at a press conference in Slovakia on 19 July following an informal meeting of the EU Competitiveness Council of research and innovation ministers. A declaration calling on the European Commission to “radically reorganise funding streams” for young researchers has been welcomed by the research commissioner Carlos Moedas. The declaration calls on the Commission to create “sustainable and effective” funding streams for early-career researchers, regardless of their age and including students, to autonomously pursue their research ideas. “Would any of our current systems have funded a young Einstein or a Marie Sklodowska-Curie?” the declaration asks.
