Society benefits greatly from scientific research and the subsequent communication of results without concern by the scientist for censorship, intimidation, or political interference. The session focuses on the role of - and challenges for - scientific communication, scientific integrity and scientific freedom during the current global crisis triggered by the pandemic. Future perspectives along with which policies, roles, and responsibilities can most effectively ensure the integrity of science are also discussed. This Union Symposium features a variety of speakers from various backgrounds and with different areas of expertise.
