Dialogue 5: Defining, monitoring and protecting Academic Freedom: the Netherlands in European perspective

Openness Challenged: university at risk? The Academic Freedom Series

Event overview

Our fifth Dialogue took place on the 27 February 2024.

Academic freedom is essential to the functioning of universities, but needs to be protected. Nevertheless, before discussing ways of protecting academic freedom it is important to gain a thorough understanding of what trends can be perceived in Europe and what issues may arise on academic freedom in order to ultimately reflect on the question how academic freedom can be defined and legally protected at the national and European levels. 

With: , , Dr. Lavinia Kortese (Utrecht 木瓜福利影视), , and Prof. Marijk van der Wende (Utrecht 木瓜福利影视).
