EAPE's Position Statement
On Academic Freedom by Emeriti Professors
The European Association of Professors Emeriti (EAPE) considers that it is our right but also our duty to defend Academic Freedom.
- Drawing on our long academic experience, we, Professors Emeriti of Europe, firmly consider that we have the responsibility to defend this principle that has survived throughout ages and to support the rights of members of the academic community to freely express their opinions even if these opinions are not in line with the prevailing ideology.
- We object to undue interference, restriction or intimidation of academics, being confident that researchers are fully aware that Academic Freedom carries with it responsibilities like respect for evidence, intellectual honesty and adherence to ethical values and practices. It is the responsibility of the relevant academic institutions only, to safeguard that these responsibilities are observed.

4th EAPE CONGRESS
JUNE 11-13, 2026 ATHENS

Dear Colleagues and Friends
This will be an Anniversary Congress, marking 10 years of productive contribution of our Association to Science and Society.
The Congress promises to be an extraordinary one scientifically and socially. It is open to everyone, not only Emeriti but also younger colleagues who have not yet reached our Status!
