DESCRIPTION: Europe has long called itself a stronghold of democracy. Howev
 er\, the significant increase of populism\, authoritarianism\, and right-wi
 ng politics on a global level has not stopped on its borders: Across Europe
 \, right-wing movements and parties influence political discourse at both n
 ational and international levels\, endangering democratic principles\, such
  as fair elections\, separation of powers\, or freedom of speech. This has 
 led to changes not only in the political landscapes of many countries\, but
  also in the field of academia. Attacks on academic freedom have increased\
 , restrictions and limitations on what to research are being established. I
 n\, for instance\, Hungary\, the so-called Orbanization of University is un
 derway.   What effect had the rise of right-wing politics on the state of a
 cademic freedom and democracy in Europe? What are the factors that have con
 tributed to the increase of right-wing movements and far-right ideologies t
 aking hold? What are potential strategies that could help curb the spread o
 f right-wing populist ideologies to strengthen democratic principles? Tarik
  Abou-Chadi (University of Oxford / Einstein BUA Oxford Visiting Fellow) an
 d Kriszta Kovács (Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin / Cluster of Excellence  SCRI
 PTS ) will contribute their expertise and discuss recent political developm
 ents together with Matthias Koch (ZEIT-Foundation).   The event ist organiz
 ed in cooperation with the  Berlin Center for Global Engagement  as part of

 ance and will take place in person at Campus Naturkundemuseum in Berlin. Li
