After more than 26 months of the war, the education system in Syria has effectively collapsed and intellectual thought and scientific research in Syria is being decimated. There is a need for urgent action at the international level to protect what is left in Syria and to provide havens and temporary academic homes for all academics and students who have fled. By preserving their lives, scholarship, and careers now, and ensuring that a substantial number of university students have access to some type of education, we are investing in their future opportunity to shape a new political system and foster a culture of democracy, trust, and tolerance.

A panel of human rights experts and advocates will be listed soon. 

The Center for Public Scholarship is presenting this panel in co-sponsorship with the Scholar Rescue Fund and the Institute of International Education (IIE).
