Nordic universities gear up to help Ukrainian academic refugees

The five Nordic nations of Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are gearing up to accommodate as many Ukrainian students and scholars as possible in the wake of disruptions caused by the Russian invasion.

“They are in need of help, and that they will get,” Minister of Higher Education and Research in Norway Ola Borten Moe said in comments coinciding with calls by Norwegian student unions for government support for Ukraine’s academic communities.

Across the region, ministries, rectors’ conferences, universities and other higher education institutions are collaborating to identify study places and funding to accommodate Ukrainian students entering the country as refugees.
