Call for applications for the "Solidarity with Ukraine" programme
The National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) opens the call for applications for the "Solidarity with Ukraine" programme. Applications can be submitted until 31 March 2022.
The call for applications for the programme "Solidarity with Ukraine" is open now. The programme is implemented on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Health.
- NAWA has recently had to respond dynamically to the changing situation beyond our eastern borders. After the wave of protests in Belarus, the "Solidarity with Belarus" programme was created, and now the unprecedented aggression against Ukraine requires the Polish higher education system to accommodate refugees who wish to continue their studies in our country - said Wojciech Murdzek, Deputy Minister of Education.
- We have united to demonstrate support for Ukraine. Our thoughts are especially close to the citizens of this state, who are part of the academic community. Today, we consider it important to ensure the continuity of education and research. The programme implemented by NAWA is intended to make this possible for Ukrainian students and doctoral candidates whose chance to gain knowledge has been drastically cut short - said the President of CRASP, Rector of the Silesian University of Technology, Professor Arkadiusz Mężyk.
The "Solidarity with Ukraine" programme is a valuable support for universities that will provide assistance to our neighbours from war-torn areas. - The support for Ukrainian students means assistance in educating stuff who in the future will treat the inhabitants of Ukraine - emphasized Deputy Minister of Health Piotr Bromber. Thanks to the 'Solidarity with Ukraine' programme, Ukrainian students will be able to continue their education, including at medical faculties, which will also be possible thanks to the great openness and willingness to help on the part of medical universities. - I believe that the actions that we are taking will meet the expectations of Ukrainian students - added Deputy Minister Bromber.
Applications to NAWA can be submitted by HEIs supervised by the Ministry of Education and Science (MEiN) or by the Ministry of Health (MZ), as well as institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) institutes /Łukasiewicz Network institutes/research institutes. Information on the support for students and doctoral candidates and details of the "Solidarity with Ukraine" initiative are available on the NAWA website www.nawa.gov.pl and www.researchinpoland.org, as well as on a dedicated channel ukraina.nawa.gov.pl and on profiles - NAWA Україна (@nawaukraine) - in social media.
