During the evening, we will be raising funds for the newly formed Swedish nonprofit organization, the Friends of KSE, to help provide intellectual and humanitarian support to researchers and students at KSE, working within and outside Ukraine’s borders.
About "Friends of KSE"
Friends of KSE is a Swedish nonprofit ("Ideell förening”) with the purpose to support academics with links to Ukraine and in particular, though not exclusively, those at the Kyiv School of Economics. This will be done through fundraising and financial as well as intellectual support. The funds raised will only be used to support Ukrainian academics and faculty, staff, and students at KSE. The administrative cost of the association are capped not to exceed 5% of the funds raised. Anyone that wants to support KSE is welcome, and there is also an opportunity to join the association.
