Wir unterstützen
Ukraine
Der Krieg hat den akademischen Sektor der Ukraine schwer getroffen: Über 40 % der Hochschulen wurden beschädigt, und für 25 % der Studierenden ist das Studium unterbrochen. Forschende sind von Vertreibung und Arbeitsausfällen betroffen. Wir leisten Nothilfe, fördern Forschung und ermöglichen internationale Vernetzung – um intellektuelle Resilienz zu sichern.
Belarus
Seit den gefälschten Wahlen 2020 ist die belarussische Wissenschaft massiver Repression ausgesetzt. Über 1.500 Akademikerinnen mussten das Land verlassen, mehr als 20 Hochschulen haben ihre Autonomie verloren. Wir bieten Nothilfe und Vernetzungsmöglichkeiten für gefährdete oder im Exil lebende Wissenschaftlerinnen – damit sie ihre akademische Arbeit in Sicherheit fortsetzen können.
Russland
Wissenschaftlerinnen, die sich in Russland gegen den Krieg äußern, sehen sich wachsender Repression ausgesetzt. Seit 2022 wurden über 800 Hochschulangehörige entlassen, und 100.000 Studierende sind geflohen. Wir unterstützen gefährdete Wissenschaftlerinnen mit Nothilfe, beruflichen Perspektiven und einer Plattform für freien wissenschaftlichen Austausch – um unabhängige Forschung jenseits staatlicher Kontrolle zu bewahren.

CLOSED EVENTS
If the scholars can’t participate in an event in public, we organise closed events or individual interview. This is one of the few income opportunities for academics at risk.
