Scholars at Risk’s work include, amongst other things, providing advice and support to researchers who are under threat, displaced or persecuted. Part of this work involves arranging temporary research and teaching placements at member institutions, as well as documenting and reporting on attacks against researchers and educational institutions, and on developments in academic freedom globally.

GEUS’s membership of Scholars at Risk underlines GEUS’s commitment to academic freedom, accountability and international engagement.
“Unfortunately, the personal and academic freedom we enjoy in GEUS is not a given for all researhers internationally. Scholars at Risk is an opportunity for GEUS to assist in securing that academics can continue their research, even when facing situations no person should,” says Lars Nielsen, Managing Director at GEUS.
A continued membership of Scholars at Risk is in line with GEUS’ values, personnel policy, strategy and management charter.
