Project Start Date June 2022
The MIT-Ukraine Program at the MIT Center for International Studies mobilizes MIT’s scientific, technical, and academic expertise to support Ukraine’s immediate needs and long-term recovery. By engaging faculty, students, and researchers, the program fosters collaborative projects, applied research, and scientific partnerships that address Ukraine’s most pressing challenges—from infrastructure resilience to economic development, healthcare, and technological innovation. As a hub for Ukraine-focused initiatives at MIT, the program seeks to connect Ukrainian institutions, MIT experts, and global partners to drive meaningful, lasting impact.
In response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, MIT launched a comprehensive MIT-Ukraine Program to serve as a hub for MIT's innovative technological and humanitarian responses in support of the Ukrainian people. In addition to fighting off the military invasion, creative technological solutions and innovation will be pivotal for Ukraine's reconstruction and democracy-building for decades to come. MIT is perfectly positioned to mobilize students, faculty and staff to participate in global efforts to preserve and rebuild Ukraine.
The MIT-Ukraine Program is committed to mobilizing MIT’s scientific and technical expertise in support of Ukraine.
