The University of New Europe

What is UNE?

The University of New Europe (UNE) is a network of academic solidarity, creativity and institution building.

We are a cross-European team of scholars, and we believe that equal intellectual access is crucial for peace and prosperity on the continent. UNE builds critical knowledge about the complex impact of war, climate crisis, and other emergencies on education and research across Europe. Via our serial public events such as Eastplainers (Amsterdam) and open access book series New Europes (Bielefeld), we promote collaboration and exchange between academics, students, activists, and the general public. For students and scholars at risk, we provide support with our mentoring programme and a database of global opportunities. UNE is a registered NGO in the Netherlands.

Russia’s unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, fundamentally changed how scholars in the social sciences and humanities could conduct research in Ukraine and Russia.
