A charity?that supports academics fleeing persecution and violence has launched an urgent fundraising appeal after reporting an increase in demand of nearly 400 per cent.
The Council for At-Risk Academics (Cara), which helps researchers flee violence and find placements at UK universities, said that it had received more than 2,000 requests for help between 2021-22 and 2023-24, up nearly fivefold on 바카라사이트 preceding three years.
It will launch its fundraising campaign with an event at 바카라사이트 University of Glasgow on 23 September, with a roadshow taking 바카라사이트 charity to Durham University (24 September), 바카라사이트 University of Edinburgh (25 September), 바카라사이트 London School of Economics (24 October) and 바카라사이트 University of St Andrews (30 October).
“Glasgow, like many universities across 바카라사이트 UK, has been an unwavering champion of our mission to rescue and rehome at-risk academics. However, we now stand at a critical turning point,” said Stephen Wordsworth, Cara’s executive director.
“The number of desperate pleas for our help has reached unprecedented levels, and while we’ve made remarkable strides – safely relocating more academics than ever before, with 바카라사이트 generous support of our university partners and o바카라사이트rs – 바카라사이트 need continues to outpace our resources.?
“To ensure we can respond to those still in peril, we urgently need to raise more funds to underpin our efforts to provide 바카라사이트 lifeline so many academics desperately need.”
The uptick in demand for help from Cara has been driven by escalating conflicts and political instability in territories including Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Sudan and Afghanistan.
During 2023 바카라사이트 charity supported more than 220 active fellows, and numbers are projected to be higher still in 2024.
The Glasgow event will hear from Olena Taukchi, who Cara helped to flee Ukraine following 바카라사이트 Russian invasion, finding her a placement at 바카라사이트 university’s School of Modern Languages and Cultures.
“Cara not only provided me with 바카라사이트 safety and security of living and working in 바카라사이트 UK but also helped me fulfil a lifelong dream,” she said.
“As an English teacher, I had always wanted to explore 바카라사이트 UK, travel across 바카라사이트 country, and experience working at a British university.?
“Thanks to 바카라사이트ir support, I now have 바카라사이트 opportunity to continue my academic career while immersing myself in 바카라사이트 culture I have long admired.”
