We are a globally operating non-profit organization, formed by academics for academics. Made up of a wide range of scientists, researchers and students from all over the world, we have come to realize how common our struggles are in the academic environment and that aspects of academia itself unnecessarily contribute to and sustain unhealthy conditions. We love our academic pursuits, and we want to take care of ourselves and enjoy our lives at the same time. We have formed this consortium, powered by volunteers operating with a horizontal hierarchy, to bring together academics from all over the world to support each other and create lasting and systemic change.
