Scholars at Risk is an international network of institutions and individuals whose mission is to protect threatened researchers and promote academic freedom and other values of higher education around the world.
ZHdK has been a member of Scholars at Risk, a network that boasts more than 500 other member institutions worldwide, since 2020.
Lecturers and researchers who are considered under threat by SAR or arrive in Switzerland as refugees can be hosted by ZHdK in order to maintain contact with the academic world during their exile – provided the conditions of the funding are appropriate for both parties.
ZHdK is also a member of the Scholars at Risk Swiss Section, which was established in 2017.
