Academic Freedom Workshops
In a knowledge-driven world, academic freedom is more important than ever. Recognising this, Scholars at Risk and the Network for Education and Academic Rights (NEAR), together with partners worldwide, have undertaken a series of workshops to raise awareness of academic freedom and related values - including access, accountability/transparency, academic freedom/quality, autonomy/good governance, and social responsibility.
Each workshop aims to better understand the local and regional dimensions of these issues, while inviting participants to inform on-going research and advocacy to promote academic freedom worldwide.
A separate workshops website provides summaries of each event along with a curriculum and materials to help users to develop their own advocacy activities, with the view to expanding the community of international academic freedom defenders even more.

The workshops website also hosts ‘UNIVERSITY VALUES’, an electronic bulletin featuring articles, essays and
announcements promoting discussion and understanding of university values. SAR and NEAR coordinate the production and circulation of the bulletin, in cooperation with an international network of contributing organisations and individuals.
