About This Scholarship

IIE-SRF and the war in Ukraine - IIE Scholar Rescue Fund Skip to content IIE-SRF and the war in Ukraine IIE-SRF and the war in Ukraine The invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces has had a devastating impact on the country’s citizens and higher education system. As the war surpassed the one-year mark, the United Nations estimates that as many as 13 million people – including many professors and researchers – had fled the country, while millions more are internally displaced. Many of Ukraine’s universities and research institutions have been damaged or destroyed, limiting the ability of scholars remaining in the country to safely continue their work. Like earlier crises in Iraq, Syria, Venezuela, and elsewhere, Ukraine’s higher education emergency underscores the need to protect the lives and work of Ukrainian professors and researchers. These scholars are integral to the country’s knowledge production and will help rebuild what has been lost. Since the conflict began, IIE-SRF has supported 32 Ukrainian scholars, many of them women, in academic fields ranging from children’s literature to medicine to fluid mechanics. IIE-SRF continues to follow closely the events in Ukraine and the devastating impacts of the war on the academic community and country more broadly. Within this context, we are faced with the difficult decision of how to best allocate our limited resources. After careful consideration, IIE-SRF is focused on supporting fellowships undertaken in Eastern or Central Eur

After careful consideration, IIE-SRF is focused on supporting fellowships undertaken in Eastern or Central Europe, where many are currently displaced and where there are fewer funded opportunities. We are unfortunately unable to consider applications from Ukrainian scholars seeking placements elsewhere, including in Western Europe. IIE-SRF will continue to evaluate its approach as events on the ground unfold. For any questions related to this policy, please contact [email protected] . Thank you for your understanding. Current IIE-SRF fellows from Ukraine are carrying out fellowships in Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia, where they are continuing their research and teaching while strengthening collaborations abroad and continuing to engage with students and colleagues at their home institutions, when possible, all with the hope of returning to Ukraine when conditions permit.
