Project Title
For support to displaced and at-risk Ukrainian and Russian scholars
Date
Jun. 05, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Russia’s war on Ukraine has led to the loss of thousands of lives and has caused immeasurable damage to the country, including its educational sector. Opposition to the war inside of Russia has also led to the displacement of academic professionals within Russia. Given the magnitude of scholars at risk from Ukraine and Russia, major efforts have enabled them to stay within their academic professions. For a final phase, the American Councils for International Education will leverage its geographical presence and institutional partnerships across the former Soviet region to aid war-affected Ukrainian and Russian scholars. Beyond the fellowships, the program helps scholars integrate into international academic communities through their participation in conferences, seminars, publications, study tours, and international exchange
