ZOOM EVENT: WEDNESDAY, 12 FEBRUARY 2025, 16:30 CET
Across Europe, many scholars at risk face a myriad of mobility injustices that hinder their ability to secure stable academic positions, harness opportunities, and build fulfilling careers. Fragile refugee statuses, fears of stigma, and the overwhelming complexities of obtaining visas or legal documentation often force these individuals into precarious employment or limit their prospects entirely. These challenges not only obstruct their professional growth but also deprive academia of diverse and valuable perspectives. This event will shed light on the obstacles scholars at risk encounter, explore their broader impact on the academic and research community, and propose actionable strategies to foster equity and inclusivity. Join us as we advocate for a fairer Europe that supports all researchers, championing the principles of academic freedom and justice.
