Brilliant minds like Leonora Brecher were lost not to time, but to persecution.

We can't undo the past, but we can protect the present.

SCIENCE AT RISK Emergency Office is here for that reason.

May 20 is International Academic #Freedom Day. No freedom means no science. No science means no future. Around the world, scholars face censorship, threats, and #repression for seeking the truth. #SCIENCE AT RISK stands with them — defending the right to think, speak, and discover freely.

May 18 marks the Day of Remembrance for the Crimean Tatar Deportation of 1944. Over 250,000 were forcibly removed to distant #USSR regions in an act of ethnic cleansing. The trauma continues today.

We stand with those fighting for truth, #freedom, and justice.

Before the war, #Ukrainian scholar Nadiia Shevchenko was conducting research in administrative law and planned to defend her dissertation on "Mechanisms for Ensuring Human Rights in the Activities of Law Enforcement Agencies." However, she had to put her #research on hold.

In 2020, Andrei Petrovsky was a #scientist in Belarus. After observing elections and joining protests, he lost his job and had to leave. Now in #Germany, he’s rebuilding his life, learning German, and working toward becoming a teacher. Swipe to read his story.

We strongly condemn Russia’s designation of the German Council on Foreign Relations and Deutsche Welle as “undesirable organizations”.

This is an attack on independent research, #journalism, and cross-border dialogue. Academic and press #freedom are vital for #democracy and mustn't be restricted.

February 24. Three years of war, destruction, and loss. This war takes countless lives, turning cities into ruins and forcing millions to flee. But as long as some stand for knowledge and freedom, there is hope.

Over 1,500 Ukrainian scientists have left their labs and classrooms to defend their country. Historians, biologists, and physicists — those who once dedicated their lives to research — are now on the frontlines, forced to fight instead of building the future.
