Safeguarding Academic FreedomThe Young Academy Twente (YAT) is increasingly concerned about growing threats to academic freedom, both in the Netherlands and internationally.

YAT calls for an open, safe, and inclusive academic environment where critical dialogue and independent research can thrive.Read more
