"Is academic freedom at risk in times of geopolitical tension?"
" Should universities remain neutral in global conflicts, or do they have a responsibility to take a stand?"
This event offers an open space for discussion between students and staff on the role of academia in global conflicts. In times of war and political crises, universities are often caught in debates about neutrality, academic freedom, and ethical responsibility. The conversation will encourage reflection, challenge different perspectives, and explore the role of higher education in shaping global discourse.
