Some closing words on a discussion on the future of European astronomy at #EAS2026, addressed to early career researchers:
Xavier Barcons: keep pushing for cooperation, don't give up on this.
Samaya Nissanke: Don't take European leadership for granted, don't take ESA and ESO granted. Keep fighting for the European model of cooperation. But also: Keep the science central to what you are doing, keep having fun and keep the reason why you can to astronomy precious to you.
