Support programmes for refugees with academic background

The University of Applied Sciences Mittweida (HSMW) supports refugee researchers to continue their scientific work at the HSMW. This also applies to ongoing doctoral projects.

This support is explicitly available to all those directly or indirectly affected by the war in Ukraine, regardless of their university affiliation.

In Germany, the following  support programmes for refugee researchers from Ukraine can be considered.

At HSMW, the first point of contact for refugee researchers is the International Office. It connects Ukrainian researchers to colleagues from our faculties.   Matthias Baumgart, Head of the Research Department, provides further advice on funding programmes for refugee researchers.
