VUIAS Opening

Berlin
About
This evening event marks the inauguration of the Virtual Ukraine Institute for Advanced Study. VUIAS was founded in 2023 by the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin with support of Volkswagen Stiftung in cooperation with partner institutions from the US, Europe and Ukraine. Its purpose is to support scholars in Ukraine and Ukrainian scholars who had to leave the country, thus working against the massive brain drain that results from the Russian invasion.
Please join us in welcoming the first cohort of VUIAS Fellows. The list of distinguished speakers for the occasion includes keynote speaker Oleksandra Matviichuk whose Center for Civil Liberties in Kyiv was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022.
The musical part of the evening will feature works by three Ukrainian-born composers, Valentin Silvestrov, Vladimir Tarnopolski and Leonid Hrabovsky, performed by Norwegian pianist Ellen Ugelvik and Ukrainian violinist Diana Tishchenko.
