Donate to the Ukraine Academic Fellowship
Support visiting fellowships for Ukrainian academics to be hosted in Poland as part of the Te Herenga Waka/University of Warsaw partnership.
Like others in New Zealand and around the world, many members of our community have been deeply upset by the war in Ukraine, some of whom have asked what we could do to support our university peers in Ukraine.
Emeritus Professor Rob Rabel (currently based at the University of Warsaw on a visiting professorship) has launched a fundraising initiative, asking Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington and the University of Warsaw to come together and support Ukrainian scholars who’ve been forced to flee their homes.
Together, our goal is to raise $25,0000 to help establish a Visiting Fellowship at the University of Warsaw. This will enable at least one displaced Ukrainian scholar to continue practising their critical craft and provide important refuge at such an uncertain time.
Please join us as we defend Ukraine’s right to higher education.
