Jena
Please find here information from Jena University about help for Ukrainian refugees:
ACCOMMODATION NEEDED
More accommodation is urgently needed for the people from the war zone who are seeking help. If you have the opportunity and would like to offer accommodation to refugees, you can let the city know by filling out a form at www.jena.de/ukraine-formular.
The form asks, among other things, how many people could be accommodated, whether separate living quarters are available for privacy and how long it would be possible to accommodate refugees. If you would like to provide accommodation specifically for researchers, you can report this to the Welcome Centre at gawi@uni-jena.de.
EMERGENCY FUND
The Society of Friends of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena e. V. is collecting donations for students of the University of Jena who are in financial need due to the war in Ukraine. Through the emergency fund of the Society of Friends you can support the students and enable them to continue their studies in Jena. The first applications for financial support from Ukrainian students have already been submitted. The students will be supported with 450 euros per month for an initial period of three months.
