UNE Mentoring programme
The expulsion and silencing of critical voices from Eastern Europe due to war and authoritarianism threaten to erode European knowledge communities in ways not seen since the academic emigrations of 1917 and 1933. The UNE mentoring programme supports students and scholars from Ukraine as well as threatened students and scholars from Belarus and Russia.
We recognise that a continuation of existing academic and cultural cooperation with Russian government-funded institutions is untenable in the current situation. However, we also ask that sanctions and negative interventions be embedded in a positive programme which helps to support critical voices from Belarus and Russia. It is these bridges which will help secure Europe’s peace.
Please note: We are currently in the process of setting up a new website with a secure registration form for mentors/mentees. In the meantime, please contact mentoring@science-at-risk.org to sign up as mentor or mentee, giving your name, the sort of support you are looking for, and your field of expertise (in 2-3 keywords).
