SUPPORT FOR THE WORLD OF SCIENCE

The Russian invasion of Ukraine also affected representatives of the local academic world. The academic community in Poland and around the world is not indifferent to their fate and is united in efforts to help employees of Ukrainian universities. Websites are being created that allow the exchange of information about the possibilities of individual academic centres, containing contacts to the coordinators of aid for Ukrainian scientists.

Thanks to them it is possible to publish offers of employment, accommodation or scholarship aid for Ukrainian researchers who, because of the war, will have to leave their jobs and leave their homeland.

Such a help initiative came from, among others, Academy of Young Scholars of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Members of the Academy declared that they were ready to accept scientists in their research groups, providing them with support as well as a place and tools for work. They are also looking for scientists and academic institutions willing to support their initiative. Details here. You can report the initiative coordinators at individual universities who will be able to answer questions about help for specific people by writing to the following e-mail address: https://amu.pan.pl/wsparcie-dla-uczonych-z-ukrainy/ and on Messenger. A page on Facebook run by the Academy of Young Scholars of the Polish Academy of Sciences (AMU PAN) may also serve as the information exchange platform.
The platform for the exchange of information about the possibilities and nature of the help was also launched by the community operating around LabsArena.com. This is a project that is to help scientists establish contacts, exchange equipment, and create research teams. Now, in wartime conditions, help offers for scientists from Ukraine can be reported here.
Information on how to help the academic world of Ukraine is also available on the scienceforukraine.eu website. Here contacts to aid coordinators in individual countries can be found.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT/COLLECTIONS

The community of the University of Lodz is already organising collections of necessary things for people in Ukraine. One of such actions will be carried out by the Students’ Government of the Institute of Russian Studies, University of Lodz. A parallel action will also be conducted by the Faculty of Geographical Sciences. It is worth remembering that the collected gifts, as in the case of the collection at the Faculty of Philology, should be ultimately transferred to the Lodz City Hall. The Lodz City Hall website also clearly lists which gifts should be given.
