“By joining the SAR Network, the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg is sending an important signal, nationally as well as internationally, in the context of higher education policy for the protection of scholars under threat,” says Prof Frank Kramer, vice-president for internationalisation. Through its membership the university is also increasing its international visibility and profile. It can also apply for organisational assistance for the admittance of scholars who are in danger.?

“In view of the global threat to scholars, as well as the political difficulties facing universities in the United States, it is now the time to join the network. The integration of the German section into the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation also guarantees a high level of expertise and organisational and procedural security,” says Dr Stephan Hollensteiner, head of the International Office.
