🌐 Scientists shouldn’t be held back by borders. High visa fees, unclear procedures, and unexplained refusals continue to limit participation in global science. These barriers disproportionately affect researchers from mobility-restricted regions and hinder collaboration, innovation and equity.

🧠 New statement from @network_alba! 🔬 #ALBA calls for fairer, more transparent visa processes and more inclusive scientific exchange. It’s time to remove barriers and enable all scientists to contribute. ✍️ Read the full statement: buff.ly/CETA9Ra 👉 Add your name: buff.ly/yXNgxIQ @SfNtweets @IBROorg
