The aim of Cara is to defend education and science. Cara helps academics at immediate risk around the world to flee to a safe place and continue their work.

The scholarships are intended to support the academics to bring themselves and their families to safety, to be able to continue their research and later, if it is in their best interest, to return to their country of origin.
The organisation's assistance is comprehensive. It supports and accompanies scholarship holders at the beginning of their careers - for example, those who want to obtain a postgraduate degree - but also in the search for a suitable position in research and teaching for those who already have a doctorate.

The standard duration of the scholarships is between 2 and 3 years and they are aimed at people who are not yet in exile but who need support in escaping.
