探花直播humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Ukraine has of late galvanised our community. 探花直播 探花直播 has set up a task force to determine necessary actions related to Ukraine. Its first duty was to identify students and staff in the region, and ensure arrangements were in place for their safe return.
Senior colleagues have been liaising with the Russell Group and with Universities UK (UUK) to determine the best ways to provide support for those who have left, want to leave or require academic support whilst they remain in Ukraine. At a UUK-hosted meeting last week, Ukrainian university representatives specified some of their most urgent needs. Among them are the provision of online material for Ukrainian students (both at school and university level), help with supervisions (especially for final-year PhDs), access to libraries and digital publications, and help with the preservation of rare books and valuable collections. Both our 探花直播 Library and Cambridge 探花直播 Press and Assessment are identifying specific ways in which they can assist in partnership with their national professional bodies. Cambridge 探花直播 Press and Assessment has already made the majority of its academic journal content free to institutions registered in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, colleagues across the collegiate 探花直播 have also been working closely with the Council for At-Risk Academics (CARA) to determine what types of support the 探花直播 and Colleges may be able to offer in the medium and long-term.
More immediately, the 探花直播 has registered its interest in joining the government鈥檚 recently announced 鈥淗omes for Ukraine鈥 scheme as a potential sponsor. Though details of the emergency immigration scheme have yet to be finalised, we are in the process of establishing what the collegiate 探花直播鈥檚 own capacities are. We expect to be prepared to provide support for people arriving from Ukraine when the scheme鈥檚 details are confirmed and published. To do so, the 探花直播 and Colleges are developing a process that will enable us to host in Cambridge displaced doctoral students and academic staff, including postdoctoral researchers, for an agreed period of time.
As would be expected, the relevant 探花直播 committee has been reviewing gifts and donations for any funding or institutional research links related to the Russian Federation (a process that has been in place since the 2014 annexation of Crimea). Our Development and Alumni team is actively monitoring sanctions lists, and all philanthropic relations with individuals connected to the Russian Federation will undergo enhanced due diligence. All such relationships are currently on pause.
探花直播 探花直播 of Cambridge has received no research funding from institutions within the Russian Federation, or from individuals currently facing sanctions, for the past few years. Some Cambridge researchers do have academic collaborations with a small number of fellow researchers in Russia, and these are being kept under review. 探花直播Cambridge 探花直播 Endowment Fund has no direct investments in Russia, and only negligible indirect exposure through pooled investments.
Some of our experts鈥 views on the war can be found here. I will keep you updated on the 探花直播鈥檚 efforts to provide essential help at this moment of desperate need for the people of Ukraine.
