Should international scientific projects and exchanges be put under political control? Over the past week, I have noticed an indirect ban on working with some countries. Is this correct? Should projects with the participation of representatives of ...?
If politicians are able to control science, it will mean the end of scientific research.
In fact, I agree with the opinions of my colleagues that politics affects learning, even if in this way, that often research directions are subject to decisions due to the amount of financial resources.
In my opinion there should be no division of scientists by origin, religion, race, gender and background. Everyone must be equal and discriminatory. We all work for the good of all mankind.
Depends upon nature of the state or ruler. Under political control the freedom of scientists are limited and buearacratic interference is dominated regarding actions and thoughts of the researcher.
On no account! It would be difficult to control by politics if it works internationally, that is not conceivable without limitations. Basically scientific work must be free from political pressure or influence.
No, that will limit their freedom to seek the best (for the project).
The reality of the case refers to the control of political power on the scientific research capabilities in various countries of the developed and developing world, and it seems that this is in the interest of the survival of those countries, see the conflict raging between the major countries, you will see based on scientific competition in various areas of life.
From a logical point of view, it must be not, but in reality, politics is stronger than Science. Please see here:

Certainly not! Scientific inquires and projects are marked by their objectivity. Politics blur and handcuff the rigor and 'honesty' expected of all scientific inquires.
Whenever scientists have operated as an independent apolitical group, pre-First World War and for a decade after it, science made enormous strides and yet again under controls during the Second World War great discoveries were made. Still, better the first. No great intellect should be controlled.
Science is pursuit of truth. Truth is not captive of boundaries. Truth teaches us to be free. All collaborations in this endeavour should be treated sacred- national or international, it does't matter. For truth and science, all mankind is one.
Political control strangles truth... and science It happens most frequently, but it should never happen.
If politicians are able to control science, it will mean the end of scientific research.

Realistically, science is subject to control, whether overtly or subtlety. If you work for a university or within a university setting, surely controls are in place? If you work for a government or business laboratory, surely the same applies? Researches are paid for by various bodies, see above. There are some things you can research, others you cannot if you are salary-dependent.
No. It is the greedy man who established this odd relationship especially those who rule USA. Best regards
Scientific research and politics are two distinct entities; Scientific research is objective and politics is subjective.
In my opinion, the governments and the politics of all the states actually control all the research through the funding granted to this or that group of researchers. This fact is unacceptable and inconceivable with regard to theoretical (pure) research. While for what concerns applied research, as financial resources are limited, the most promising research from the point of view of beneficial effects on society must be privileged. The decision on which is the applied research to be funding should be taken by independent researchers. While the applied research issues to be funded should be decided by governments. As governments oriented to capitalist policies see the world very differently from governments oriented towards social democratic policies and vice versa.
In my opinion Its a matter of viewpoint. The involvement of politics in science can't not be denied. The work ethics and expansion of research projects do get registered by political protocols. Though inside a university it majorly an independent entity. So, contrary to the fact they are different paradigm, they get influenced by each other.
Dear collègues,
if you are salary-dependent or independent researchers,
it is the some ... you have the contacts by internet ... So, you have a control.
Scientific work must be above all consideration and understood from political influence.
Political leaders want to control everything and want to use everything for their political benefits.
It is a great problem in many countries of the world.
Like other fields, the scientific world is also controlled by them with the assistance of some high chaired person who are having a special quality to become yesman to any political leader of any party staying in the power.
These people have no relation with science, though they are the decision takers in most of the cases!
We have to live in this world.
History is witness. Politics affects science. Einstine had to move to US from Nazi Germany. Vavilov had to remain away till Lysenko was at the helms in Soviet Russia. Many projects were undertaken to serve the warring regimes during both world wars. We have not forgotten the eugenics project of yhe third reich.
Politics should not interfere in research.
Nevertheless, it does.
Since it holds the strings of the purse, it tends to control.
Scientific cooperation, collaboration, and association cannot be put under political control otherwise, scientific advancement and progress will suffer.
