On the attack on Ukraine

This page contains automatically translated content.

The Presidium of the University of Kassel is appalled by the attack of the Russian leadership on Ukraine. This is at the same time an attack on the European idea and the principles of democracy and international understanding, for which we as a university also stand.

Science thrives on international exchange, renunciation of violence and peace. We are concerned for the well-being of all those who are being drawn into this war against their will. Our thoughts are especially with our cooperation partners in Ukraine and with all those who are connected with our university and now fear for their families and friends.

NEW: National Academic Contact Point Ukraine

The platform of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers comprehensive information and assistance for Ukrainian students and researchers. It is available in German and English, and the Ukrainian version is constantly being expanded. For Ukrainian students, the website is intended to serve as a guide to the German higher education system.

NEW: National Academic Contact Point Ukraine: To the website in Ukrainian language

Academic exchange

The DAAD's line is that scientific cooperation with Russia will essentially be discontinued. An exception to this are stays of Russian students and scientists in Germany. These will be continued until further notice.

The university is trying to set up a fund at the university through which the stay of additional Ukrainian students can be financed. Various departments and also the art academy have offered to take in students at short notice. The next few weeks will show whether or to what extent there is actually a need for corresponding study places. It is also not clear at the moment whether state funds will not also help at this point.
