May 20 (Wednesday), 5:30-7:30pm | Academic Freedom at Risk: European Universities between Resilience and Responsibility

Advocating for academic freedom and implementing programmes to host at-risk scholars and artists bring fundamental challenges into focus: how resilient are universities, and are they able to provide safe and supportive environments?
