Chance for Science – Social Network for Refugeed and Local Scientists, Academics and Students
Researchers and scientists coming to Germany as refugees have limited opportunities to deal with research topics or none at all. Besides the individual difficulties caused by such situation, it is also a loss of research capacity for the respective scientific field. This online platform aims at facilitating the access to German universities and colleagues of the same research field for scientists who fled to Germany.
Academics in professional life and students will lose their knowledge if it can no longer be applied. Through networking with expert colleagues and fellow students in Germany an opportunity should be offered to counteract this loss of knowledge.
