Leading research-intensive universities in Europe underscore the importance of responsible international collaboration in the free pursuit of knowledge. While research excellence thrives on open collaboration, concern is rising about security, reciprocity, and potential dual-use applications. The Guild acknowledges these concerns, nevertheless we stress that measures to mitigate risks must not thwart our ambitions to address pressing global challenges. Any risks of international collaboration must be balanced with the risks of non-collaboration. We advocate for an approach that enhances trust, understanding and collaboration between researchers, universities, and public authorities.
