Observatoire de Paris-PSL joins the 2nd Stand Up For Science Day on April 3

2 April 2025

Since Donald Trump came to power, American universities and scientific institutions have been facing an unprecedented offensive, exacerbating threats already present on a global scale. Université PSL, of which Observatoire de Paris is a founding member, joins the Stand Up For Science movement and invites all its academic, scientific, student and administrative communities to take part in the day of Thursday, April 3, 2025.

Attacks on research and higher education affect the entire knowledge value chain. Abruptly interrupting scientific work has lasting consequences for the scientific community and society as a whole. Threatening research weakens our collective ability to meet contemporary challenges.
