Événement en présentiel

Time: Thursday September 15th 5-7.30 p.m. 
Venue: Amphithéâtre Boutmy, Sciences Po

As part of the Academic Freedom Week*, this seminar covers, as its main theme, the topic of the Academic Freedom Index/AFI.

The two main objectives are:

1. to present the current AFI measurement initiatives by explaining methodologies and definitions and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of such an index, 

2. to reflect on the potential of concrete uses of the index considering the current existing frameworks to defend Academic Freedom across the board. 

In the third part, recommendations will be made to Sciences Po, in particular, on how to further promote Academic Freedom.
