MEP Christian Ehler has been re-elected chair of the European Parliament’s Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA), alongside vice-chairs Lina Gálvez Muñoz and Ivars Ijabs.
The STOA Panel, composed of 27 MEPs, plays a critical role in providing scientific advice and foresight to inform EU policy-making.
Once reelected, Ehler emphasised the importance of a depoliticised platform for discussing key issues like academic freedom.
