Harvard and Columbia join forces to support scholars in the field of Ukrainian Studies who are unable to leave Ukraine

The war has facilitated cooperation between two Ukrainian studies programs, which today exist thanks to the financial support of USF donors. The interests of both of these Ukrainian studies programs now often coincide. The Harriman Institute recently joined the initiative of the Vienna Institute for the Humanities to help scholars who do not have the opportunity to leave Ukraine to continue working in Ukrainian studies. HURI also joined this initiative. Already at the beginning of 2023, 35 scholarships were awarded to scholars in Ukraine lasting 5 months.
