A gift to myself after an intense year of general chairing #FAccT2025 -- 2 weeks of disconnection in Iceland, and in particular, completing the epic 55 km Laugavegur trek in the Icelandic otherworldly wilderness. Thanks to everyone who has patiently waited for my responses. Now onto new challenges!
It is with great pleasure that I share MAXMINDS 2.0, a new Max Planck program to support scholars in danger of displacement by war or natural disasters, and who have limited access to resources and institutional support.
If you know affected scholars, please share.
