The European University Association (EUA) has chosen Professor Jerzy Lis, the AGH UST Rector, as a member of a team of experts (Task Force) to assist the Ukrainian higher education sector.
The main task of the team includes the medium- and long-term post-war recovery of Ukraine and its university sector.
This is not the only EUA initiative in the field of helping Ukraine. The organisation has endorsed a number of measures to facilitate Ukrainian membership in the EUA and to ensure that Ukrainian universities are fully integrated with the European higher education sector. The EUA has also agreed to waive membership fees for current and new Ukrainian institutions in 2022. The Association encourages all eligible Ukrainian organisations to apply for membership.
Professor Jerzy Lis is the President of the CRASP International Cooperation Committee and coordinates the activities of the association related to the situation in Ukraine.
The European University Associations is the largest organisation representing European universities. 19 million people receive education in more than 850 EUA member institutions. These members include 36 Polish universities and the Conference of Rectors of Academic Schools in Poland.
