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.

Cara’s Syria Programme Home > what we do > caras s... The page below gives a brief summary of the work of our Syria Programme (2016-2024), the most recent of our Regional Programmes which, in accordance with our Articles, "... advance education by supporting academics and their educational institutions in countries where their continuing work is at risk or compromised, to ensure that such academics and institutions can continue to fulfil their critical role as educators for the public benefit ." Much more detail on the work of the Syria Programme (SP) can be found on our special SP site here ; please note that this site is now a 'legacy site' and is no longer being updated. Cara's Syria Programme Syrian academics have for some years made up one of the largest groups being supported through our Fellowship Programme . But not everyone can, or wants to, travel so far away from their home region. For this reason, and drawing on the experience of our two earlier regional Programmes for Iraq and Zimbabwe , we launched our regionally-based Syria Programme (SP) in 2016, to provide support to Syrian academics in exile in the region around Syria, mainly in Turkey. Our SP offered a wide range of activities, all intended to help the participants to use and build on their existing skills and experience, and to develop their academic networks. At the end of August 2024, after eight busy and successful years, the main activities of the SP came to an end. Some individual activities will cont
