🧠 New statement from #ALBA! 🌐 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. 🌍 The ALBA Network 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: https://www.alba.network/visa-mobility-statement 👉 Add your name: https://form.jotform.com/260773152590357

🌍 Science has no borders — but scientists do. Researchers from mobility-restricted regions face arbitrary visa rejections and delays that derail careers and limit knowledge exchange. Read ALBA's full statement and recommendations. Add your name to strengthen the call for change!
