Hebrew University emergency aid for researchers and students from Ukraine

Considering the threat on the lives or academics in Ukraine, and in a show of solidarity, the Hebrew University is offering academic hosting for Ukrainian academic staff and students of higher degrees.

Ukrainian academic faculty members, residents of Ukraine, who serve in academic institutions in Ukraine, are invited to continue their research activity within the framework of the Hebrew University (HUJI). The invitation is to stay at the University for a period of up to four months, during which time the University will provide scholarships for suitable guests in the amount of between $2,500/month for individuals and $2,800/month for families, as well as free accommodation in the University’s dormitories for the four-month period. Guests who require a lab to conduct their research will be hosted in the labs of HUJI researchers, in coordination with the Head of the Lab. The Head of the Lab is encouraged to provide a scholarship from his/her research budget, however, hosting is not dependent on providing funding for the guest.
