Dear Partners and Friends,
The news that you and your territory were attacked shocked us. We are very sorry for the situation that happened to you and is still going on.
We want to help you as soon as possible, in a different but specific way. We don't know if you are there all the time or if you have set off for the border or if you are already on our side.

Anyway, the support we can offer on our part can be of two types:

1) as coming directly from our Institution:

• transfer of students for the purpose of continuing studies - each case will be considered individually after analyzing the options,
• possibility of employing staff - on the basis of individual decisions after analyzing the options,
• possibility of admitting students and staff to dormitories on the campus and the rooms at the Aquatic Sports Center in Piękna Góra.

2) as an offer described within external links of aid campaigns by institutions related to higher education in Poland to support Ukraine:

• here we can add the offer of the Polish Academy of Sciences, which we have just received,
• now only for Grinchenko University and Sumy University, as multi-profile universities - EPSO's offer.

Please be sure, our thoughts, thoughts of the entire academic community are with you in these difficult times.
We trust that normalization will take place soon, intruders will disappear and you will return to your homes, as well as to your previous, everyday, so-needed activities.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. 
Please notice kindly, the aid action for Ukraine is coordinated at our University by Professor Ida Wiszomirska, Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and Education.

Sincerely yours, Tomasz Skiba
