The geographical position of our city, which acts as a hinge between the Mediterranean and the Balkans, has meant that at the University of Trieste we are inclusive by nature, multilingual and multicultural. In addition to welcoming international students and scholars, who come to our premises as Visiting Scholars, we also have programmes dedicated to fellow scientists who come to Italy as refugees fleeing conflict situations in their home countries.

Scholars at Risk (SAR) is an international network of universities founded in 1999 at the University of Chicago to promote academic freedom and protect scholars whose lives are in danger or whose work is severely compromised.

Given the recurring international crises that have seriously compromised academic freedom and research in various parts of the world, the University of Trieste is once again launching a selection process in 2025 for its Departments wishing to host at-risk scholars who have been prevented from returning to their country of origin to carry out their work.
