About the research

The survey “Ukrainian migrants in Poland in the time of war” is the first stage of the Research Program “Between Ukraine and Poland” conducted at the University of Warsaw. The aim of this program is to build the knowledge base about the circumstances that Ukrainian migrants find themselves in Poland as well as changes they experience in the turbulent times of war in Ukraine. As part of this Program, we are planning to conduct a series of questionnaires and qualitative studies pertaining to the everyday life problems of migrants in Poland. Although nowadays people fleeing the war require the most attention, our study covers the entire Ukrainian group living or temporarily staying in Poland. Russian aggression has changed the lives of all Ukrainians.
