#EURAXESSMentoringProgram
As conflicts, climate crises, economic downturns, and political unrest unfold around the world, international students studying in the United States find themselves in increasingly precarious situations. These students often face personal financial challenges stemming from instability in their home countries, which can disrupt their education and hinder their academic progress.
The Impact on Education
The Washington Post recently published an insightful article on the Institute of International Education’s Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF), which highlights its vital role in supporting displaced scholars amid global crises. The piece includes interviews with Dr. Sami Muslih, a mathematical physicist from Gaza, who began his fellowship at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign after fleeing the ongoing violence in his home country.
We are pleased to share the launch of the SAFE “Supporting At-risk researchers with Fellowships in Europe” project, which began last month. This initiative will offer up to 60 fellowships for non-EU researchers at risk, enabling them to conduct research at a European higher education or research institution for up to 24 months. This program addresses the pressing need for a secure and supportive environment, allowing researchers to safely continue their work within the EU.
Application and Matchmaking Details
On 17 October 2024, the SciEntBG hub team, led by Dr. Dmytro Zherlitsyn, participated in the Workshop on Mental Health & Virtuous Academic Culture online segment. This event, coordinated by Dr. Fernando Josa Prado and Dr. Stefano Zucca, occurred at the Auditorium Aldo Moro in Turin, Italy. The sessions on the first day included an in-depth exploration of "Intro to Mental Health Literacy," which highlighted foundational aspects of mental health awareness essential for academic professionals.
During a radio discussion on September 24th, Kostadin Kolarov, a member of the Scientific Entrepreneurship Hub in Bulgaria team, and Svetlana Dimitrova, head of the EURAXESS network in Bulgaria, delved into the progress of scientific entrepreneurship in Bulgaria. They reviewed the initiatives unveiled at the kick-off meeting on September 20th.
