Scholars at Risk – Italian section

Scholars at Risks (SAR) is an international network of universities founded in 1999, at the University of Chicago, to promote academic freedom and protect scholars who are in danger of life or whose work is severely compromised. SAR currently includes 450 universities in 40 countries and is part of the Network for Education and Academic Rights (NEAR) and of the Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF).

The Scuola Normale Superiore is part of the Italian section of Scholars at Risk, SAR Italy, a partnership between universities and national research institutes. In establishing SAR Italia, the governance structures of the participating universities, the teaching, research and technical staff, the students send a strong signal of solidarity to scholars and university institutions who are in situations where academic freedom is restricted and research, teaching and training activities repressed. SAR Italia works by sharing information, exchanging good practices, collaborating in protection and advocacy activities and organizing awareness events.
Universities that are part of  the international network are members by right of SAR Italia.
