The human right to participate in and benefit from science is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. Building on this the 2017 UNESCO Recommendation on Science and Scientific Researchers further states that academic freedom lies at the very heart of the scientific process, and provides the strongest guarantee of accuracy and objectivity of scientific results. Today when the academic freedom is challenged in some countries and disciplines, it is urgent to highlight and discuss how researchers, universities, academies and governments may support fellow researchers and guard the academic freedom globally.
