CERCA joins #ScienceForUkraine

by Virginia Greco

#ScienceForUkraine is a community of volunteer students and scientists from around the world aiming at creating opportunities for Ukrainian researchers to temporary leave their country and be hosted by other institutions.

CERCA, the network of research centres of Catalonia currently including 42 institutes, declares that it condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine and seeks to support Ukrainian scientists by joining the initiatives promoted by other European research institutions. To this purpose, CERCA fosters and participates in the activities of the #ScienceForUkraine community, consisting of a group of volunteer students and research scientists from academic institutions in Europe and around the world.

The mission of #ScienceForUkraine is to collect and disseminate information about support opportunities at national and international level for graduate students and researchers directly affiliated to an academic institution in Ukraine. They set up a website where potential applicants can find a wide range of paid academic positions for PhD student or above, academic transfer opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as temporary housing.
