The Summit for Research and Innovation was initiated by the Stifterverband, Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina, VolkswagenStiftung and EFI – Expertenkommission Forschung und Innovation.

Panel 2, moderated by Prof. Dr. Bettina Rockenbach, President of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, addresses the future of international scientific collaboration in an increasingly fragmented geopolitical landscape.
The discussion focuses on the implications for research security, data governance, and global knowledge exchange. Panelists examine how Germany and Europe can attract top researchers, strengthen open and free science, and position industrial research within this shifting global context.
