Following the ongoing war in Ukraine and having received calls and messages from our colleagues from across the world asking how they could support their Ukrainian colleagues, we followed the SAR current public statement and started collecting and monitoring support activities and initiatives organized by our members in the SAR Section Slovakia.
In these trying times, our academic institutions recognize the importance of using our professional knowledge to assist victims and promote peace. As a part of our SAR Section, Matej Bel University along with UPJŠ Košice and UCM Trnava recognise the alarming impact of this situation and have implemented numerous measures to support those in need.
- Univerzita Mateja Bela v Banskej Bystrici Matej Bel University has prepared a support scheme for international researchers from Ukrainian higher education institutions and along with additional support, all its Ukrainian students are eligible for a one-time scholarship of 200 euros.
