VUIAS - An Institute for Advanced Study for Ukraine
The Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, in close cooperation with partner institutes from Ukraine, Europe, and the United States, has launched an initiative to support Ukrainian scholars in their effort to found a Ukraine Institute for Advanced Study (UIAS) in Kyiv. Full-scale institutional activities in Ukraine will only be possible once the war is over, but a preliminary virtual institution, VUIAS, will begin operations in September 2023.
The project will be supported by the Volkswagen Foundation with funding of around 960,000 euros for the first three years.
