❓Do you know what Europe’s fifth freedom is?

❗The free movement of research, innovation & knowledge.

This proposed freedom was at the heart of the ERA Symposium 2025, which featured European Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva and Austrian Ministers Eva-Maria Holzleitner and Peter Hanke.

The poster displays the OKMaps mission, visual discovery workflow, and illustrations of people interacting with knowledge maps. A conference stage with empty chairs in front of a large presentation screen showing the title “Austrian ERA Symposium 2025: Towards Europe’s Fifth Freedom.” The slide features an illustration of people walking toward a lighthouse.

📈 Better data, better discovery

Our PubMed integration now uses Crossref citations for more accurate research overviews.

Citations determine the scale of both research areas and documents on our PubMed maps.

🤝 Responsible research assessment is key to advancing open science.

That’s why we’ve joined CoARA - to help foster assessment practices that support a more inclusive and equitable research system 🌍

We're excited to be part of this movement for change! ✨
