May 19 (Tuesday), 12-3pm | (Re)Constructing Solidarity: Connecting Academic Freedom Worldwide
A key challenge in advancing academic freedom is fostering inter- and transnational exchanges that allow for sharing experiences and mutual learning. In response to the global rise of authoritarianism and closing spaces of critical scholarship, numerous regional initiatives, networks and coalitions have emerged in recent years. As part of the Berlin Brandenburg Academic Freedom Week 2026 and in close cooperation with co2libri, the BCGE will host an online workshop bringing together these international, transregional and interdisciplinary Academic Freedom Initiatives and Networks along with key science-policy actors. The workshop will explore practical lessons on protecting academic freedom on a transnational and interdisciplinary level to map out and highlight repertoires and ways universities can actively support these efforts.
