As a University community, we are deeply shocked and outraged by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and condemn this unprovoked violence in the strongest possible terms. These actions are an assault on democracy and on the values of freedom, autonomy and respect that we all hold dear. 

Supporting Ukraine | Tacaíocht don Úcráin

Ireland’s efforts to provide support to Ukrainian refugees is a complex operation involving many organisations and individuals. Our response at NUI Galway is being coordinated with local, national and international organisations.

We aim to support students, university faculty and staff, and their families to shelter temporarily in Ireland by providing a variety of supports. We also intend to support the rebuilding of the Ukrainian Higher Education sector when possible. If you would like to make a financial contribution to support efforts please click here
