Partner With Us - IIE Scholar Rescue Fund Skip to content Hosts & Partners “Hosting IIE-SRF scholars has been an extremely rewarding and unifying endeavor for Cornell University. They are talented researchers whose expertise and perspective adds to the vibrancy of our scholar community.” Dr. Jason Hecht, Cornell University The support and partnership of the international academic community is critical to the work of the IIE Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF). Our valued partners, comprising hundreds of institutions, individuals, and organizations across the globe, provide a crucial lifeline for threatened and displaced academics by identifying scholars in need of support, hosting these scholars on their campuses, and supporting their integration into new academic environments.

Provide matching support of equal or greater value to the IIE-SRF fellowship, generally in the form of salary or a stipend.

IIE-SRF and the war in Ukraine - IIE Scholar Rescue Fund Skip to content IIE-SRF and the war in Ukraine IIE-SRF and the war in Ukraine The invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces has had a devastating impact on the country’s citizens and higher education system. As the war surpassed the one-year mark, the United Nations estimates that as many as 13 million people – including many professors and researchers – had fled the country, while millions more are internally displaced. Many of Ukraine’s universities and research institutions have been damaged or destroyed, limiting the ability of scholars remaining in the country to safely continue their work. Like earlier crises in Iraq, Syria, Venezuela, and elsewhere, Ukraine’s higher education emergency underscores the need to protect the lives and work of Ukrainian professors and researchers. These scholars are integral to the country’s knowledge production and will help rebuild what has been lost. Since the conflict began, IIE-SRF has supported 32 Ukrainian scholars, many of them women, in academic fields ranging from children’s literature to medicine to fluid mechanics. IIE-SRF continues to follow closely the events in Ukraine and the devastating impacts of the war on the academic community and country more broadly. Within this context, we are faced with the difficult decision of how to best allocate our limited resources. After careful consideration, IIE-SRF is focused on supporting fellowships undertaken in Eastern or Central Eur
