At our upcoming Event in Berlin “Scholarship in Diaspora”, we are proud to present a distinguished panel that will address the challenges and opportunities faced by scholars from Aghanistan in exile.
The panel brings together:
• Dr. Sonja Wimschulte, Programme Director for Exile at the Körber Foundation
• Dr. Cora Schaffert-Ziegenbalg, representative of the Volkswagen Foundation
• Dr. Hazrat Bahar, researcher at Leipzig University
Together, they will discuss how the expertise of scholars drom Afghanistan can be more effectively recognized and integrated into the German academic landscape. Key themes include the underutilization of academic knowledge, structural and institutional barriers, the need for sustainable funding models, and the political frameworks required to support long-term inclusion.
