The webinar has been organised by UNICA's CITY Working Group and initiated by the University College Dublin.
In the framework of the event, higher education initiatives addressing the challenge of forced displacement of academic staff have been presented by UNICA member institutions from different regions of Europe (University of Oslo, University College Dublin, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and National and Kapodistrian University of Athens).
The final programme, the abstracts and the biographies of the panelists are available here.
