Ways to support Ukrainian mathematicians

Math

American Mathematical Society recently issued the following announcement.

Some of the community efforts underway to assist displaced Ukrainian mathematicians:

#ScienceForUkraine

#ScienceForUkraine is a community group of volunteer students and research scientists from academic institutions in Europe and around the world. Their mission is to collect and disseminate information about support opportunities at the university, national, and international level for graduate students and researchers (in any field) directly affiliated with an academic institution in Ukraine. Please submit available academic positions and spread the word.

German Mathematical Society (DMV)

The German Mathematical Society (DMV) aims to support mathematicians from Ukraine at all stages in their career who might consider a visiting position, scholarship or other forms of scientific long-term stays in Germany. In cooperation with Mathematics Münster, applications from mathematicians from Ukraine and offers from German mathematical institutions will be coordinated via this website.

Isaac Newton Institute Solidarity List

The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (United Kingdom) has created a solidarity list to connect individuals and institutions wishing to help those who are urgently in need. You can indicate whatever aid you are able to offer—provision of office space, subsistence, housing, short-term fellowships/positions, etc.

Joint CRM-ISM Initiative in Support of Mathematicians in Distress

The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) and the Institut des sciences mathématiques (ISM) are offering a program in support of mathematicians in distress due to war, oppression, and persecution. The objective is to provide a temporary safe haven to international researchers in mathematical and statistical sciences, so that they can continue pursuing their high-quality research and training goals in a secure and welcoming environment. Applications are open to researchers at all levels, from graduate students to senior faculty.

Mathematics Visiting Positions and Graduate School

A group of North American mathematicians have created a form for displaced Ukrainian mathematicians of any career stage to register their interest in finding employment or study opportunities in mathematics departments in the US and Canada. If you know of any refugee mathematicians from Ukraine, or of someone who might have a connection to them, please direct them to the form.

National Academies of Science Safe Passage Fund

To assist the many displaced scientists in continuing their work in safety, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has launched the Safe Passage Fund to support the Polish Academy of Sciences as it helps fleeing Ukrainian researchers and their families resettle in Poland.
