The University of Basel’s initiatives in connection with Ukraine

The academic initiative "Ukrainian Research in Switzerland" (URIS) at the Department of History of the University of Basel is contributing since years in furthering Ukrainian expertise in Switzerland, fostering the next generation of scholars, and promoting the international networks of Switzerland-based university research on Ukraine. URIS offers among others a data base with regards to the Ukraine-research in Switzerland, a newsletter, Ukrainian language courses, lecture series or summer schools in Ukraine. URIS is financially supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation.

sciCORE supports the SUCHO initiative, aiming at protecting the Digital Heritage in Ukraine. sciCORE preserves a secondary copy of cultural resources from thousands of institutions in Ukraine in a coordinated effort with the University Library and DaSCH, the Swiss National Data and Service Center for the Humanities.
