Academic Freedom

US Big Tech dominate how we communicate, also in education. With Academic Freedom, you can choose a European and privacy-friendly email service.

Digitally autonomous

Do you wish to use an email address outside your university's system? Academic Freedom offers a reliable long-term alternative, hosted in the Netherlands and operated exclusively with open source software.

Here are two good reasons to switch:

• Keep your email private, out of reach from Big Tech, away from for their AI training, profiling and advertising.
• Ensure a working email service, even if Big Tech services stop working due to political developments or disruptions in international connections.

The cost is €24 per year, that is only €2 per month.

What do you get?

A nice, expressive email address of the form:

firstname.secondname@academic.freedom.eu

What do you need to do?

Demonstrate that you already have an email address of the form:

firstname.secondname@institution.country

Where "institution" is an academic organisation (on our list) in a European country.

You will be asked to provide your existing institutional email address. You will receive a one-time confirmation code at this email address, which is needed for registration.
