Scholars at Risk
[2] Scholars at Risk was founded as part of a Human Rights Program in the University of Chicago in 1999 where it launched with a large conference in June 2000.[6] The Fund provides financial support to scholars facing grave threats so that they may escape dangerous conditions and continue their academic work in safety.[8] In 2012, SAR launched the Academic Freedom Monitoring Project,[5] through which volunteer researchers document attacks on higher education in specific countries or regions which are then published in a report.[13] Scholars at Risk advocates on behalf of academics, writers, artists, and other intellectuals who are threatened in their home countries.[5] These are gathered by contributing researchers who report and analyze incidents, track down sources and witnesses and help to develop advocacy responses.SAR sections were established in Israel (2005, now dormant), the United Kingdom (2006, with CARA), the Netherlands (2009, with UAF), Ireland (2009, with Universities Ireland), Norway (2011), Canada (2012), Switzerland (2015), Sweden (2016), Germany (2016), Finland (2017), United States (2018), Denmark (2019), Italy (2019), and Slovakia (2019), while partner networks were formed with pre-existing higher education networks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.As the voice of Europe's universities, EUA supports and takes forward the interests of individual institutions and the higher education sector as a whole.It seeks also to be a driving force in the development of the Bologna process and to facilitate the integration of universities from Central and Eastern Europe into the European Higher Education Area.Its mission is to create a multidisciplinary research university with a high international profile and strong local connection that creatively serves society.CONAHEC develops programs and educational opportunities to prepare globally knowledgeable professionals able to contribute to the region's continued success and a better world.
