VUIAS

Virtual Ukraine Institute for Advanced Study

The Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS) is participating in a recently launched initiative to support Ukrainian scholars in their efforts to found a Ukraine Institute for Advanced Study (UIAS) in Kyiv. Behind the initiative is the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, working in close cooperation with partner institutes in Ukraine, other parts of Europe, and the United States.

The operation of a virtual institution, VUIAS, commenced in September 2023, while full-scale institutional activity in Ukraine will only be possible at a later stage. The goals of the newly founded institution are manifold: VUIAS will mobilize support for scholarships under conditions of war and contribute to rebuilding Ukrainian academia once the war is over. By connecting Ukrainian scholars inside and outside Ukraine, VUIAS will more strongly integrate Ukrainian scholars into the international academic landscape and broaden and deepen the knowledge about Ukraine within global academia.

In the initial phase, two types of fellowships are offered: VUIAS Fellowships Abroad (for example at SCAS) and VUIAS Fellowships in Ukraine.
