The Academic Solidarity Association is a non-profit organization based in Germany, founded in 2022 by academics from different countries. The association carried out its previous activities under the Academic Solidarity Initiative, founded in 2018. Most founders are academics who faced anti-democratic and illegal practices in their countries. They have lost their jobs and had to leave their countries. They have taken action to make the world aware of illegality, to support each other, and to fight against injustice and illegality.

The Academic Solidarity Association does not limit its vision of solidarity to violations and problems in one country or region. Its primary aim is to help all academics subjected to oppression and discrimination who have lost their jobs, been imprisoned, or have had to leave their country out of necessity.
