💬 Fishbowl (conversational)
💡 Immigration, asylum and refugees | Academic freedom, ethics and integrity

 

While there may be no perfect recipe for academic solidarity, this session will offer an in-depth discussion about the main considerations when setting up support actions for researchers at risk, the inevitable questions of how to define and assess risk and inclusiveness, and whether these run in opposition to excellence. We will also cover concrete prospects for EU and national support in the coming years and what to expect or hope for in the next EU budget.
