In EUA’s Refugees Welcome Map, many institutions that welcome refugee researchers and/or academic staff had already indicated to do so in their previously established collaboration with SAR (Scholars at Risk) or CARA (Council for At-Risk Academics).
Recently, several new projects have been developed in addition to established structures of academic refuge, for instance (further) developing toolkits and guidelines for welcoming refugee researchers on campus. At the European level, EURAXESS has launched a specific platform for refugee scientists, with employment opportunities, internships and a mentoring service.
Initiatives included in this section aim at bringing together European and refugee researchers, to help them to build a local network, exchange on research practices and European research funding structures, and to collaborate on projects.
