Council for Assisting Refugee Academics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Council for Assisting Refugee Academics is a charitable organization dedicated to assisting academics who, for reasons including persecution and conflict, are unable to continue their research in their countries of origin. Academics are given funding and other support to relocate to the United Kingdom and rebuild their careers. The organization originated in 1933 to assist Jewish and other academics forced to flee the Nazi regime.
