Projekt

The Academy in Exile Afghanistan Program offers scholars who are threatened in their home country because of their academic or civic engagement for human rights, peace and democracy the opportunity to resume their research at the Forum Transregionale Studien in Berlin, the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI) in Essen, the Freie Universität Berlin, and the Universität Duisburg-Essen. The program provides a forum for reflecting on the pressing challenges to intellectual life, critical thinking, reason, social justice and diversity that are facing us today and that define the parameters of academy freedom. The 24-month fellowships will allow the scholars to work on a research project of their own choosing in a multidisciplinary environment.
