Olga Ceran and Vicky Kosta give a lecture for the Eurodoc Ambassador Programme
On 22 May, Olga Ceran and Vicky Kosta gave a lecture for the Eurodoc Ambassador Programme for Values and Democracy in European Research and Higher Education (ValDem). The lecture focused on discussing the protection of academic freedom in the EU from a legal perspective, including the recent proposals for EU-level legislation on the matter.
The Ambassador Programme is organised by the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers (Eurodoc). The aim of the programme is to enable academics in European higher education institutions to understand and explore the role higher education and research play for democracies in Europe and to become ambassadors for democracy within their institutions, their research communities, as well as in society. The course is specifically designed for early-career researchers from all disciplines and from across Europe. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the democratic values of higher education and research in Europe and to provide early-career researchers with a theoretical and practical basis for their advocacy activities.
