Supporting scholars at institutions of higher education in Ukraine
The Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia (WCEE) at the University of Michigan International Institute is leading a new initiative in support of Ukrainian scholars who are not currently able to safely conduct their research in Ukraine because of the ongoing war.
WCEE Scholars at Risk Fellows have been matched with U-M faculty partners in fields similar to their own. The awards support one-year research visits from September 2022 through August 2023. They include round-trip airfare for fellows and dependents, visa support, health insurance, and stipend.
