InSPIREurope is a Europe-wide initiative to support researchers who are at risk due to discrimination, persecution, suffering or violence. Funded under the European Commission’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, the initiative is hosted at Maynooth University in Ireland and coordinated by Scholars at Risk Europe.
InSPIREurope brings together a diverse set of partners, including EUA, in a concerted effort to expand support for researchers at risk. Its objective is to forge a coordinated, cross-sectoral, Europe-wide alliance for the researchers. The project begins from the view that excellence in research depends upon open scientific debate, and is driven by a multiplicity of ideas, people and perspectives. When researchers are at risk, and excluded from participating in the global research circuit, not only are individual lives and careers at risk, but the quality, and the very future of research is also at stake.
As a record numbers of researchers reach out to Europe for support, no one country, government, NGO, or enterprise can meet the scope of the challenge. The ambitious and coordinated approach of InSPIREurope is required to provide that support. The project runs from 1 September 2019 until 31 August 2022.
