We promote the Right to Science as a structural component of Liberal Democracies.

Science for Democracy is a platform launched in October 2018, by some members of Rome-based Associazione Luca Coscioni.

Science is a human right

The Right to Science is recognised and protected as a fundamental human right. It is enshrined in article 27 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in article 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
