What forms of support are expected?

There are a variety of ways in which you can help and even the smallest support makes a difference. We include listings that relate to paid positions or other forms of support that normally costs money and which are dedicated to scholars and students affiliated to an academic institution in Ukraine. Examples include:

• Fellowship/scholarship
• Research visit
• Part time/full time employment
• Accomodation in a dormitory or institution guest quarters
• Support for accompanying family members
• Office space
• Computer with internet access
• Access to library and/or lab facilities

We are collecting offers directed specifically to scholars fleeing Ukraine. We do not include general calls or programmes where everyone else can apply.

Possibilities for remote work are particularly relevant now. Please see this letter of the Young Scientists Council at the Ministry of Education and Science in Ukraine to the Polish National Science Center.

Why should your institution provide support?

• Because scholars should help their colleagues in need
• To help people fleeing the conflict sustain themselves while abroad by doing what they know and love to do
• To prevent scholarly careers from breaking due to unjustified atrocity
• To sustain Ukraine’s presence in the European Research Area and international scholarly community
• To benefit from a contribution of talented scholars in your institution or research team

Whom should we support?

• Support for Ukrainians on all levels of scholarly career is welcome: students, PhD candidates, early career researchers and senior scholars

When should we open the call for applicants?

• Right now or as soon as possible. People are fleeing the warzone and need some form of stability right away
• We recommend that the whole process of applying, evaluating, providing results and funding should be immediate or contained in a few weeks’ timespan

How long should the support last?

• Given the uncertain situation we suggest that the support should be provided for the longest possible period, but not shorter than 3 months. This might include research visits, so that scholars gain time and means to apply for more stable positions or grants

What else can I do?

• If you know about positions with immediate availability dedicated to Ukrainian researchers which are not already in our database, please retweet using the hashtag #ScienceForUkraine and submit the position via the web form
• If you want to join the #ScienceForUkraine team, please either get in touch with our country's coordinator or, for counseling Ukraine-based scholars, with Oleksandra Ivashchenko
• Amplify our messages by sharing the listings relevant for your discipline or community
• If you are a coordinator of a national or discipline-specific agency or organization, please get in touch so that we can list you
• Raise awareness among prospective funders and receivers
• Your institution can endorse #ScienceForUkraine to provide more visibility for it
