Scholars at Risk Italy have published a report outlining our activities from January 2021 to December 2022. These two years have seen America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine and most recently attacks on students and academics in Iran, not to mention the many threats to academic freedom in different countries. It is perhaps the resonance of some of these events and the need to provide concrete acts of solidarity that has led to the growing interest in Scholars at Risk in Italy and the rise in membership, from 14 original members of SAR Italy in 2019 to 36 at the end of 2022. The number of scholars hosted has also increased dramatically, in these two years, ninety-two temporary positions have been created at sixteen universities for scholars from nine different countries. In the report you will also find the stories of some of the scholars.

We’d like to thank SAR Italy members, SAR International, scholars, students and organisations who have contributed to and supported SAR Italy’s activities. Special thanks to Mounir Abdin, student at the University of Padova for the layout and design of the report.
