Researchers at risk include researchers, scholars and scientists at all stages of their careers who are experiencing threats to their life, liberty or research career, and those who are forced to flee or have been displaced because of such threats. Some researchers at risk have recognised refugee status, asylum status, or similar protection status. However a more significant proportion of those seeking the assistance of NGOs specialising in the field of scholar protection are outside the refugee process, seeking or holding temporary visas/work permits through visiting research/scholar positions at host institutions in Europe or elsewhere, outside their home countries.

 

The MSCA Guidelines for the Inclusion of Researchers at Risk provide useful background on researchers at risk and recommend ways to improve their recruitment. The guidelines have been developed by the European Commission with the help of the Inspireurope project project, a Europe-wide initiative to support researchers at risk funded by the MSCA.
