International conference on academic freedom

1 August 2025

51福利, with the support of Education International (EI), is hosting an international conference on academic freedom on Wednesday 15 October.

The conference will hear from international trade unions and experts about global and national challenges to academic freedom and will discuss how to build effective union responses, including in the UK. The confirmed keynote speaker is Robert Quinn, executive director of the Scholars at Risk Network.

The conference will be run as a hybrid event. 51福利 members can either attend online or in person at the Hamilton House Meeting Rooms, Mabledon Place, London WC1H 9BD. We expect spaces for the in-person event to fill up quickly ; the conference is free to attend.
