Remote Opportunities For Scholars In Ukraine

Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine has destroyed civilian infrastructure, including universities, research centers, and other academic infrastructure (1). Many Ukrainian scholars and researchers remain in Ukraine, and their work has suffered from major setbacks (2–4). We call on international scientists and institutions to support them. The global research community has offered research opportunities and fellowships to Ukrainian academic faculty and students who were forced to leave the country due to the war (5, 6). Science diplomacy (7) has resulted in opportunities like the Polish Academy of Sciences–US National Academy of Sciences Scientists and Engineers in Exile or Displaced (PAS-NAS SEED) initiative, which helps to place Ukrainian researchers in an institute of the Polish academy and supplies grants that provide up to 6 months of support (8). The Institute for International Education (IIE) emergency student fund provides financial support to Ukrainian students studying at US colleges and universities (9). The Resources to Help Displaced Scholars from Ukraine program mobilizes short-term stipends in support of displaced Ukrainian scholars.
