About us
EMPOWERING MINDS BEYOND BORDERS.
Founded in 2017 as a charitable association based in Germany, Off-University seeks new strategies to sustain academic life and knowledge threatened by anti-democratic and authoritarian regimes, aimed at academics from all over the world; academics who have been purged from their institutions, forced to resign, legally and politically persecuted or imprisoned because of their opinions and research.
Since 2018, we have offered 68 online and hybrid courses for 4,216 participants, provided financial relief and teaching and research opportunities for 75 threatened scholars from 14 countries, and collaborated with many German universities, NGOs and international academic support initiatives.
Our long-term aim is the creation of a Peace University that combines in-class and digital educational settings.
OUR VISION
A world in which critical research can be conducted anywhere, by anyone, and for anyone.

Thank you for your support to Off University's activites during the past year. Your contribution is absolutely vital for the organization of courses taught by scholars at risk. In the past months, we were able to do seven courses taught by 37 scholars who had to go into exile, are persecuted or had to flee war and armed conflict. 970 participants from many parts in the world joined our courses. Thank you for making this possible!
