On June 8, an online event was organized to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the Higher Education and Research institutions to welcome refugee scientists. If you couldn’t attend the event, all the sessions are now available online.
The event has been organized in the framework of a EU-funded project coordinated by the Irish University of Maynooth and hosted by the French national funding program PAUSE. The purpose was to address the challenges faced by both research institutes and refugee scientists when it comes to hosting endangered researchers.
The first part of the forum was dedicated to stakeholders and topics like the importance of academic freedom for research and innovation, career trajectories in Europe for researchers at risk, how to expand opportunities for researchers at risk.
