 ress issues around racism and classism in Swiss Higher Education. Early-Ca
 reer Researchers (ECRs) identifying as first-generation academics and/or B
 lack/Indigenous/People of Colour/Jewish/Migrants were invited to create a 
 space where issues could be openly addressed to identify systemic obstacle
 s and possible ways forward.\n \nParticipants diagnosed a silence around 
 race and class within equality and diversity discourses at Swiss universit
 ies. In view of the emerging debate about academic precarity in Switzerlan
 d\, this year will focus on building a self-sustaining support network for
  ECRs affected by classism and/or racism to envision ways forward and prov
 ide the informal mutual support and mentoring participants identified as c
 rucial.\n \nOutcome\nCreation of a self-sustaining network that will be o
 pen to scholars affected by racism and/or classism in Switzerland. The con
 crete goals of the network will be developed together with the participant
 s of the retreat.\n \nParticipants\nEarly career researchers affiliated w
 ith Swiss academic institutions\, who are subjected to racism (including b
