Kiron Open Higher Education gGmbH is a social start-up founded in 2015 with the aim of breaking down existing barriers to higher education for refugees through digital learning and support services. The non-profit organisation has developed an online study programme for refugees to enable smooth access to higher education through the use of MOOC-based curricula.
Since 2015 Kiron University offers free online learning opportunities to refugees and underserved communities. It all started with a Crowdfunding campaign on German platform startnext and within a few weeks, the team raised more than 500 000 Euros.
