Academic Refuge Project Meeting

The EU-funded ‘Academic Refuge’ project, on which Scholars at Risk is a partner, will hold a project meeting at the University of Oslo on October 10-11, 2017 to begin developing a MOOC on academic freedom and higher education values. The Academic Refuge project aims to improve the capacity of European universities to assist refugees and threatened academics on campus and to promote understanding and respect for higher education values. Partners include the University of Oslo, the UNICA network, the University of Ljubljana and Scholars at Risk. The European University Association (EUA) and the European Association of International Education (EAIE) are associate partners on the project.
