About the Scholars at Risk Fellowship
The Scholar at Risk Fellowship 2026 is hosted by the C²DH, the University of Luxembourg’s interdisciplinary research centre. The programme aims to create a safe academic environment for at-risk scholars, while also encouraging international collaboration in fields such as:
- Contemporary History of Luxembourg
- Contemporary History of Europe
- Public History
- Digital History and Historiography
The initiative follows the principles of the Scholars at Risk network, which defines at-risk scholars as individuals under threat of violence, harassment, imprisonment, or those affected by ongoing conflict in their countries.
