Academic freedom today is not available for 3.6 billion people, or 45.5 percent of the world's population. After a global peak in academic freedom in 2006, the situation today is comparable to circumstances fifty years ago in 1973. This is one of the results of the 2024 Update of the Academic Freedom Index (AFI), which researchers at the University of Gothenburg and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have presented today. The new AFI data provides an overview of the state of academic freedom in 179 countries.
