HOW IS UM HELPING THOSE FLEEING THE WAR?

Along with participating in the collection of donations to the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta to help support their efforts to help refugees from and in Ukraine, the university is helping in other, less visible, ways.

Rooms in UM student hostels are being made available through a centrally-organised effort to arrange accommodations for refugees.

Scholarships to UM are being arranged through the Tempus Foundation to allow students from Ukrainian higher education institutions to continue their studies in Hungary.

UM has donated beds, chairs, tables and other furniture and equipment from the student hostel now being refurbished. Instead of selling the items, UM is donating them to two institutions that are housing refugees.

The university and foundation will continue to seek ways to help.
