Ukrainian Scholars at Risk: Fellowships in History and Slavonic and East European Studies

The schemes is now closed. All Fellowships have been awarded.

In 2022 BASEES launched its Ukrainian scholars at risk fellowship scheme.

BASEES, the Royal Historical Society and other learned associations came together to support eight short-term fellowships in History and Slavonic and East European Studies. The aim was to provide a place of academic refuge for scholars from Ukraine at higher education institutions in UK, the EU or elsewhere in continental Europe. Matched by funding or in-kind assistance from the host institution, the fellows are provided with the necessities to support their integration in the local academic community for the duration of their stay (minimum three months).

The following scholars have participated in the scheme to-date:

Ms Alla Dubrovyk-Rokhova (Research Centre for East European Studies at the University of Bremen)

Dr Juliana Matasova (University of Roehampton)

Dr Tetyana Zabolotna (University of Sheffield)

Dr Nadiia Akulova (University of St Andrews)

Dr Kateryna Budz (School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh)

Dr Natalia Gromakova (University of Aberdeen)

Dr Tetiana Ostapchuk (University of the West of England)
