Support measures for Scientists from Ukraine

Support measures for Scientists from Ukraine

SNSF initiative submitted by Prof. Carlo Catapano

The SNSF is making available 1 million francs to host researchers from Ukraine at universities in Switzerland through Scholars at Risk and supporting them with a series of additional measures. In collaboration with Scholars at Risk Switzerland, this sum is intended to enable universities to host a first wave of researchers requesting support. This will allow them to pursue their own academic work at institutions in Switzerland. Additional sums may be allocated if the need arises.

COST Statement on Ukraine

Ukraine flag

Standing firm together with scientists from Europe and the world, COST affirms its solidarity with Ukraine and its people. COST will continue to promote scientific activities for peaceful purposes in strong condemnation of war and violence. COST, by providing networking opportunities for researchers and innovators from Europe and beyond, can be a powerful weapon against totalitarianism. Therefore, COST is calling for international efforts to help ensuring the safety of Ukrainian researchers and innovators.
