If you feel affected by the Ukrainian/Russian war situation, please know that you are not alone!

The University of Groningen (RUG) and University Medical Center (UMCG) are taking every measure to support. The RUG has made a frequently asked questions page about the invasion in Ukraine. Among others, information can be found on financial matters and staying in Groningen. But also what you can do if you would like to offer your help. If you have another question not listed on this page you can send your question to irs@rug.nl.
