What we do Home > what we do > What we do Cara - the Council for At-Risk Academics - has been working since 1933 to support academics at risk. Our Fellowship Programme is a rescue mission for academics in immediate danger. At any time, some 350 at-risk academics are in placements, or are being helped through the process of finding a safe place to continue their work, with their families too. Our regional programmes support individuals working on in their home countries despite the risks, and those in exile nearby. They also work with higher education institutions whose work is at risk or compromised. Our Syria Programme was established in 2016, and worked until 2024 with some 200 Syrian academics in exile, mostly in Turkey. We also partner with other organisations, including with the British Academy in the 'Researchers at Risk' programme for Ukraine-based academics, which was launched in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion. We now manage all the payments to nearly 180 grantees. We are also participating in the EU's Inspireurope+ programme (2022-25), as the lead for Work Package 2, ‘ Guidance for Researchers at Risk ’. In all that we do we honour the aim set out by our founders in 1933, “to prevent the waste of exceptional abilities exceptionally trained” - knowing how important such abilities are to the future of each country, and to the world.

An Open Letter from University Staff Across the Netherlands — Dutch Scholars for Palestine 0 An open letter from university staff across the Netherlands We, university staff from across the Netherlands, would like to express our full support for the students who have protested for the last three weeks across our campuses to demand an end to our universities’ complicity with the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as well as decades of occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing carried out by Israel on the Palestinian people. It is our students who have transformed our campuses and forced us all to confront the ongoing genocide in Gaza, including our role in supporting it. Now that we are being forced as academic communities to engage with this issue, we note two extremely worrying trends, which we believe are designed to distract from the urgency to take action. First, discussions within the media, by our politicians, and on our campuses obsess about the nature of the protests which have taken place. Many of our students, especially in Amsterdam and Utrecht, are being smeared as violent and creating unsafe environments, particularly for Jewish students. But this represents a weaponisation of both the language of social safety and antisemitism. It also ignores the fact that a considerable number of those taking part in actions are Jewish staff and students. Other encampments are being praised for remaining 'peaceful'. But both narratives are being used as ways for Executive boards (CvB

2021: Palestine Solidarity Statement by lecturers at Leiden University — Dutch Scholars for Palestine 0 Palestine SOLIDARITY STATEMENT May 2021 Letter initiated by lecturers at Leiden University Nederlands hoger onderwijs solidair met Palestijnen Dutch higher education in solidarity with Palestine Wij zijn wetenschappers en docenten in het Nederlandse hoger onderwijs en wij nemen stelling tegen de voortdurende ontheemding, bezetting en oorlog waaraan de staat Israël Palestijnen onderwerpt. Op de Nakbaherdenking, 73 jaar na de gedwongen uitzetting van Palestijnen uit hun huizen in wat nu Israël is, tonen wij ons solidair met alle Palestijnen. Onze steun gaat uit naar Palestijnen in Gaza, de Westelijke Jordaanoever en Israël, alsook naar de zeven miljoen vluchtelingen over de hele wereld, ook in Nederland, onder wie onze collega’s en studenten. De indruk dat dit een conflict is tussen twee gelijke zijden is een gevaarlijke vertroebeling van de werkelijkheid: het leidt af van de realiteit dat het de Palestijnen zijn die leven onder militaire bezetting, die ontheemd zijn, en die leven als tweederangsburgers in een systeem van segregatie dat volgens zowel B’tselem als Human Rights Watch in feite neerkomt op apartheid. Dit soort geweld en discriminatie vormen de oorzaak van de geweldsescalatie die nu plaatsvindt. We roepen de Nederlandse regering op erop toe te zien dat gerechtigheid geschiedt voor de Palestijnen en dat hun volledige rechten worden gewaarborgd. Dit is de enige mani

Vreede scholarship for International Law - Scholarships for Euro-Arab Dialogue Search Close Search Vreede scholarship for International Law (Online and In-Person) In recognition and honour of Mr. Pieter Vreede (1926 – 2008) who dedicated his working life as a judge and lawyer specializing in international law, an annual scholarship is available for law students interested in participating in short term training courses in international law. Mr. Vreede and his wife were staunch supporters of the Lutfia Rabbani Foundation and their support has made it possible to award this annual scholarship. “ Despite the critical times we face as Palestinians, particularly in light of recent events, the lessons from the academy, made possible by your support, have deepened my knowledge of international law and reignited my passion. Exposure to diverse professionals has strengthened my commitment to using all legal means to support human rights and uphold international law.” – Tamara Al Tebi, 2024 Vreede Scholar Application and Requirements Alumni Highlight The Vreede Scholarship is a vital initiative that empowers scholars to continue their studies and important work within the legal field. ‘The Summer School was an exceptional experience. It broadened my knowledge and provided me with invaluable insights into the complexities of international legal systems.
