Institute says offers of work for Ukrainian professionals and students must come with six months of free accommodation

RIBA has said it will use its existing jobs platform to match architects and architecture students fleeing the conflict in Ukraine with opportunities in the UK.

The move follows a call last week from the institute’s former international vice-president Chris Williamson for professionals with spare rooms in their homes to consider offering accommodation to architecture students displaced by the Russian invasion.

Building Design understands the RIBA is already sharing information on professionals and students seeking safety outside of Ukraine with professionals who have offered help and partner organisations in mainland Europe on an informal basis.
