CEU aims to support those whose studies have been interrupted by the war.

CEU Budapest
CEU’s Budapest campus is supporting refugee students from Ukraine residing in Budapest with the following services:
- Access to the Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives. The archive additionally offers select archival internships to refugee students with an interest in recent history.

INVISIBLE UNIVERSITY FOR UKRAINE (IUFU)
After the successful 2022 Spring Semester, Central European University is continuing the certificate program (offering ECTS credits) for junior and senior undergraduate (BA) and graduate (MA and PhD) students from Ukraine, whether residing in Ukraine or in refuge, whose studies have been affected by the war. The name of this transnational solidarity program evokes the various nineteenth and twentieth-century underground and exile educational initiatives (such as the “flying universities”) in Eastern Europe, as well as the tradition of Invisible Colleges formed after 1989 in the region.
