Support for students and employees in light of the conflict in the Middle East

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is causing concern and affecting both students and employees at Jönköping University. Many may be directly affected or feel deeply concerned about the situation. Here we have gathered information about the support JU is offering during this time.

Support for students
