About Us

The Access to Knowledge Foundation (A2KF) is a non-profit organization, founded in Greece in 2024, and committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive global academic network. Academic and Professional knowledge is frequently found behind walls: economic, geographical, cultural, and other barriers, that make it inaccessible to millions of deserving aspiring scholars and professionals. Our global Faculty members want to change this. They generously offer their time, knowledge, and advice to those who need it the most in this specially deisgned environment. Our goal is to dismantle the barriers of geography, language, and economic or social constraints that oden impede the free flow of knowledge. We believe in the fundamental right to access knowledge, a right that has the power to uplift individuals and communities worldwide.

At A2KF, our core values are rooted in the belief that knowledge is transformative. We stand firm in our conviction that access to education and information is a right, not a privilege. Our initiatives and objectives are shaped by this belief, as we strive to bring our vision of a more informed and empowered world to life.

A2KF translates its values into action through two primary pathways, offered pro bono to anyone interested in benefiting.

The first is our innovative, global mentorship program, creating a dynamic digital space for learners to engage with experienced scholars and seasoned professionals. Our sophisticated matching platform ensures that each mentor-mentee pairing is founded on synergy and potential. These real one-on-one, live sessions, with incredibly talented mentors, offered without cost.

The second is tuition-free online course suite, offering courses that address critical areas of the law, the humanities, and the social sciences. These courses are taught by academic and professional experts of global caliber. Participation leads to micro-credentials for students, providing tangible recognition of learning achievements.

The roots of A2KF lie in the professional journey of law academics, whose experiences in prestigious institutions across the global North and South inspired the foundation's mission. This journey, from the academic ‘center’ to the ‘periphery’, led to the creation of A2KF, in collaboration with like-minded academic nomads, to bridge the knowledge gap and ensure equal access to quality learning opportunities worldwide. 

A2KF was created in Greece in 2024 as a non-profit organization. During its first year of operation, with the generous support of IProject, the leading business software development in Greece, it was able to set up its proprietary website and set up all the background operations needed for its public launch, planned for 1 March 2025. 

A2KF is an independent organization. Thus far it has been funded exclusively by the donations of its founding members.

A2KF has evolved into a pioneering hub for collaboration, exchange, mutual support, and knowledge sharing, thanks to the support of numerous academics and students who share our ideals. We are a vibrant, adaptable organization that continually evolves to meet the needs of our members and the broader academic community. Looking forward, A2KF is committed to expanding its reach and enhancing its effectiveness. We actively seek partnerships with organizations, institutions, and individuals who share our commitment to bridging the knowledge gap. These collaborations are crucial in amplifying our impact and cultivating a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse academic landscape. Join us!

The public launch of A2KF is scheduled for 1 March 2025.

Until that time, members and mentors are welcome to register and help us test the electronic environment and benefit from early access.
