I'm sharing a call for applications to mentor displaced academics from the International Science Council in partnership with the Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund that I thought might be of interest to our community. More information is available below. Please note that the deadline for applications is August 31.
All the best,
Deadline extension to 31 August 2026
The International Science Council (ISC), in partnership with the Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF), invites experienced academics across regions and disciplines to join the recently launched Mentorship Initiative for Displaced Academics (MIDA). The scheme aims to strengthen academic integration, professional development and long-term career continuity for researchers affected by conflict, intimidation and instability.
Experienced academics, researchers and professionals across all disciplines are encouraged to register their interest in becoming mentors by 31 August 2026: https://council.science/news/call-mentors-mida/
