Solidarity with Ukraine

Since the Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the EUI has been actively mobilising its university cooperation networks, to advocate for and put in place effective coordinated action towards assisting the Ukrainian students and scholars, as well as university sector. This has resulted to a series of scholarships to provide Ukrainian scholars with a safe academic space while in exile, including the cooperation with the EC’s Joint Research Centre.

The EUI continues compiling and updating a list of Academic initiatives/Scholarships in support of Ukrainian scholars. Please, spread the list and related information as much as possible among Ukrainian scholars.

Furthermore, through the CIVICA Alliance, the EUI has been cooperating with the Warsaw School of Economics and the National School of Political Science and Public Administration in Bucharest, , to garanteed access to EUI academic activities to Ukrainian students and scholars hosted by the mentioned universities in Poland and Romania.

Finally, in spring 2022, the Library completed the first installment of the audiobook to help Ukraine. The first 5 chapters of Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell were recorded with the voice by 32 kind volunteers. You can download the chapters from this link. We kindly ask potential listeners to contribute with a symbolic sum, sending the money to the EUI Refugee Initiative through this Paypal account.
