Ukraine

Information

The war in the Ukraine means a great burden for many students at the FH Campus Wien. On this page we would like to summarize relevant information for affected colleagues from Ukraine and the Russian Federation. For us it is clear that we are there for all affected students as their representatives - because the Russian students can do nothing against the actions of the Kremlin.
In the following you will find information on financial support from the ÖH, psychosocial help and places you can turn to if you need legal advice on aliens or an emergency account.
