❓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.
Open Knowledge Maps founder and chairman Peter Kraker stands smiling beside an Open Knowledge Maps poster at the ERA Symposium 2025. 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. A banner of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Women, Science and Research stands on the right. European Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva and a moderator sit on stage in black armchairs during a panel discussion. Ekaterina Zaharieva holds a microphone while speaking; the moderator listens with a tablet in her hands. Behind them is a large screen displaying event graphics and a QR code, with a ministry banner on the right.

📈 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! ✨
