Uni Konstanz helps Ukraine

The university's donation drive for students and researchers who are in danger or have fled their country: #UniKN_hilft_Ukraine

For more than three decades, the University of Konstanz and the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and Kyiv National Economic University have had a close partnership. Today, in the university city of Kyiv, people are taking refuge in subway stations from the Russian attack. As a university community we stand fully behind our partners in Ukraine – especially students and researchers who are in difficult situations because of the war. Our donation drive #UniKN_hilft_Ukraine will help us stand with these partners the best we can. We ask you to join us in this effort – your contribution makes a difference!
Rector Professor Katharina Holzinger

The current situation in Ukraine touches all of us. As a university, we have declared our solidarity with Ukraine and feel a particular responsibility to support our academic partners in Ukraine.

Many students and researchers now face extreme, sometimes even existential challenges as a result of this war. Since the backgrounds and individual situations vary widely, the university has set up the #UniKN_hilft_Ukraine donation drive to provide individual financial assistance for these very diverse situations.

You can help support Ukrainian and/or other students and researchers who are in danger or have fled their country!

First of all, we will support Ukrainian students in Konstanz who cannot return to their country. Your contribution means that these students can extend their stays and receive corresponding scholarships.

You can help make it possible for these young people to continue their studies in safety!

Secondly, we would also like to use the donations to support students and researchers who have fled their country as a result of the war. In these cases, the University of Konstanz is ready and able to provide opportunities for these academics to continue their study and research in Konstanz. We are working hand in hand with our partner universities on this matter.

You can help refugee students and researchers to continue their academic careers in a safe place!

We thank the University of Konstanz Society (UGK) for generously providing start funding for the drive.

Thank you for your trust in us – we are happy to have you supporting the #UniKN_hilft_Ukraine initiative. You are helping Ukrainian students and researchers who are now in need to extend their stays in a protected environment in Konstanz.

I am a Ukrainian, and I come from Kyiv. I had to leave behind my familiar life, family and friends in Ukraine and migrate to Germany on very short notice. I feel torn, but I know we will win, and I believe in our soldiers, physicians, fire fighters and volunteers. Now more than ever, Ukraine needs help and support.
