The University of Potsdam joined the Scholars at Risk Networkin March 2017, thereby sending a signal that we defend personal and academic freedom. The University of Potsdam, together with its international partners in the network, would like to support endangered students and scholars and help them find a secure future.

If you would like to participate by hosting an endangered scientist, or if you are an endangered scholar who would like to participate in the SAR network activities, please let us know!
