The Threatened Scholars Integration Initiative aims for the proactive integration of scholars forced to seek alternative teaching, research, or advanced study positions at Open Society University Network (OSUN) institutions outside their home countries due to threat from authoritarian regimes, persecution for their views and identities, or other risks.

The Initiative offers two fellowship programs for Residential Fellowships and Non-Residential Fellowships (Virtual Affiliations): The residential fellowship involves teaching regular curriculums, seminars, and network courses and contributing to research projects. The non-residential fellowship involves working from a remote location while teaching and participating in research.
