Philipp Schwartz and Inspireurope Stakeholder Forum (10-11.05.2022, online)

On 10-11 May 2022, NEO-Ukraine took part in the Philipp Schwartz and Inspireurope Stakeholder Forum (online).

About 250 participants from different countries joined the event.

The 2022 Stakeholder Forum will reflect on the situation and the work of displaced scholars who have found placements in other countries. It will discuss the state of academic freedom in specific regions. It will also present mutual learning opportunities for at-risk scholars, academic mentors, and higher education administrators working to support at-risk academics and to strengthen academic freedom.

NEO-Ukraine Coordinator Svitlana SHYTIKOVA joined the discussions of the above issues, and also disseminated among the participants information about the situation of higher education in Ukraine during the war, the support of the EU Erasmus+ Program for Ukrainian higher education institutions during the war, as well as the possibility of cooperation between European and Ukrainian higher education institutions within the Programme.
