Researchers at-risk

Many researchers are at risk due to unstable conditions – we see this currently in Ukraine and also in other countries.


For now, the German Scholars Organization and AlumNode try to help by spreading useful information. If you know about resources, especially for academics, researchers, and scientists in need, please let us know via contact@alumnode.org or as members of the community, share your knowledge in the comments below.
