IAP OPPOSITION TO THE CNRS KEY LABS PROJECT
The members of the Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris express their opposition to the CNRS presidency’s plan to establish Key Labs. This decision, made without prior consultation of scientific and institutional actors, undermines the unity of scientific communities, does not align with how scientific research operates, and risks weakening relationships with all our partners. The Institute calls for the withdrawal of the project and advocates for a more collegial approach to structuring research decisions.
