In its capacity as member of the Scholars at Risk network, swissuniversities has expressed its support of the urgent appeal to protect and lend assistance to scholars in Afghanistan in light of the eroding situation in the country.
swissuniversities is joined in this appeal by higher education associations, networks, and leaders in the field of scholar protection. We urge European governments and EU institutions to take immediate action to secure the lives and careers of Afghanistan’s scholars, students, and civil society actors.
