Scholars at Risk Italy have published a report outlining the activities held by the italian section from January 2021 to December 2022.

These two years have seen America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine and most recently attacks on students and academics in Iran, not to mention the many threats to academic freedom in different countries. It is perhaps the resonance of some of these events and the need to provide concrete acts of solidarity that has led to the growing interest in Scholars at Risk in Italy and the rise in membership, from 14 original members of SAR Italy in 2019 to 36 at the end of 2022. The number of scholars hosted has also increased dramatically, in these two years: 92 temporary positions have been created at 16 universities for scholars from 9 different countries. In the report are also described the stories of some of the scholars.
