On 17 March UCL announced plans for the Academic Sanctuary Fellowship Scheme, as well as UCL's Ukraine Response Fund which is providing much-needed financial support for all of UCL’s response initiatives.
To deliver the scheme, UCL will work in partnership with the Council for At-Risk Academics (Cara), with whom the university has a longstanding partnership, to maximise the support.
