Supporting Scholars at Risk

Concept: Tristan Weddigen & Marieke von Bernstorff

After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Bibliotheca Hertziana decided to welcome and support seven Ukrainian and Russian fellows as part of the #ScienceForUkraine initiative. In the video, the fellows speak about their pasts, presents, and future hopes from a professional and personal point of view. Their fields of research and their personal experiences remind us that peace is a precious privilege, and that freedom is the foundation of all research activity.
