Scholars at Risk
An international network for threatened researchers
Lund University has been a member of Scholars at Risk (SAR) since 2014. SAR is a network of over 500 member universities in 42 countries that supports and defends the principles of academic freedom and defends human rights for researchers around the world. The network also supports threatened researchers by arranging sanctuaries at the member universities.
In Sweden, 21 universities are members of SAR. These meet within SAR-Sweden approximately once per semester to exchange experiences and plan joint activities. At Lund University, there is currently one threatened researcher.
Threatened researchers can apply to Sweden and Lund University by contacting Scholars at Risk via scholarsatrisk.org
Scholars at Risk stands in solidarity with the people of many countries suffering from horrific violence, fear, insecurity and identity-based hatred.
