The support of refugees and threatened foreign researchers is an important concern for UDE.
So far, UDE participated successfully at all rounds of the Philipp Schwartz-Initiative, administered by the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation, to support reasearchers from countries like Pakistan, Syria and Turkey.
Universities and research institutions in Germany receive support from the Philipp Schwartz-Initiative through the Scholars at Risk Network, the Scholar Rescue Fund and the Council for At-Risk Academics. The Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation made agreements about offering comprehensive support with this leading organizations in the field of assisting threatened scientists and researchers. This support includes advice and assistance in identifying suitable researchers, vetting candidates identified by institutions directly, pre-arrival and post-arrival advice for candidates and hosts, transition assistance and possible follow-up placement for researchers at the end of their Philipp Schwartz fellowships. Here you will find more Information on the programm.
