The European University Association (EUA) is pleased to present a five-part webinar series as part of the Inspireurope+ project (September 2022 - September 2025), which aims to strengthen and coordinate support for researchers at risk across Europe. This first webinar targets higher education institutions interested in offering remote fellowships to researchers at risk.

Remote fellowships are often used as a complement or alternative to hosting at-risk scholars on campus. These schemes are relevant for scholars that for various reasons cannot travel and for institutions without the possibility to provide an academic sanctuary on campus.

This webinar will introduce several initiatives on remote fellowships with different scopes and approaches. The webinar will also offer the possibility to discuss the benefits and challenges of remote fellowships.

Registrations are open until the start of the webinar. Participation is free of charge and open to all EUA members as well as anyone with an interest in welcoming researchers at risk in higher education institutions.

Speakers:

Alison Morrisroe, Policy and Project Officer, EUA
Dr Jennifer Straub, Faculty of Education, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
Dr Florian Kohstall, Academics in Solidarity, Center for International Cooperation, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
Daniel Ladani, Global Mobility Consultant, University of Copenhagen, Denmark and SAR Denmark

Moderated by Karolina Catoni, Deputy Director of International Centre, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
