How do higher education systems endure war, and what enables them to continue teaching, learning, and research under extreme disruption? This volume answers these questions through a multiple case-study approach spanning contemporary (Ukraine, Israel), historical (World War II, Yugoslavia), and anticipatory contexts (Poland, Latvia). It shows how higher education institutions adapt to maintain continuity and accessibility, despite destruction, displacement, and political pressure. Grounded in a shared theoretical framework, the chapters reveal both common patterns and context-specific responses. Written by scholars partly directly exposed to these conditions, the book offers rare, practice-based insights into resilience, making it an essential reading for researchers, policymakers, and higher education practitioners.
