Cologne/Bonn Academy in Exile (CBA)

The Cologne/Bonn Academy in Exile was founded on June 13, 2022 by the University of Cologne and the University of Bonn. It offers academics who have been affected by the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine access to research networks and environments, enabling them to continue their research at the universities of Cologne and Bonn in line with their regional expertise.

 

Support from the Cologne/Bonn Academy in Exile


The CBA is a forum for exchange, but does not provide any financial resources itself. In addition to administrative support, the CBA offers work spaces and academic mentoring in the specific disciplines to enable researchers to integrate more successfully into the local, national and European higher education landscape. Integration into the academic environment of the CBA is also possible without funding.

Main goals of the project: 

  • Contributing to the integration of Ukraine into the European community against the background of EU accession.

  • Preservation and promotion of regionally specific knowledge in the German and European academic landscape

  • Supporting the transition to a peaceful future after the war

     

Target group
 

The CBA supports researchers from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus who have been affected by the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and wish to continue their research at the universities of Cologne and Bonn.
The Academy's focus is on law, political science, history, cultural studies and linguistics. Of particular importance are projects on comparative politics, law and linguistics as well as on European history.
 

At Risk-Scholar Support
 

In addition to the integration of the fellows into already existing networks of the participating institutes, the CBA researchers receive comprehensive advice and assistance from the At-Risk Scholar Support departments of the Universities of Cologne and Bonn, which belong to the German section of the Scholars at Risk network (SAR).
