How does SGGW support Ukraine?

In-kind help

During the first days of the war, the SGGW Main Library was the center of the aid operation where clothes, food, hygiene products, blankets, etc. were collected, sorted and then transported to the Polish-Ukrainian border.

Over the next few days, collections were also organized by the SGGW Institutes, Departments and Units.

We are in constant contact with our partners to respond immediately to any specific needs; this is how we provide the most necessary and targeted support. We operate in a methodical and coordinated manner. Let’s be efficient in helping!

The activities in this area are coordinated by the Vice-Chancellor Wojciech Motelski, Economic Development Director.
