Research freedom | Fully\u003Cbr>implemented | Approximately 77.3% of the respondents believe that principle 1 is fully implemented (214 out of 277) . However, there is a slight indication that early-stage researchers seem to have less research freedom compared to senior researchers or group leaders. This is not connected to FORTH internal practices related to free expression of ideas and thoughts, but rather to a number of typical operational and organisational practices such ascertain research strategic priorities of a research unit, hierarchical supervision structures etc. In order to support research freedom. Besides, FORTH is fully harmonised with the Greek constitution (article 16) that states: the arts and science, research and teaching are free and their development and encouragement are the responsibility of the state. FORTH has also supported free research in early stage researchers by providing internal funding through the scheme of synergy grants (see for example\u003Cbr>[https://www.iesl.forth.gr/en/forth](https://www.iesl.forth.gr/en/forth)synergy-grant), that focus particularly on early-stage researchers. |  |\n| 2.
