The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to significant regional political tensions and has severely disrupted academic institutions in Ukraine and neighboring countries such as Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Many universities in Ukraine have faced challenges, particularly in the Eastern Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv, Kherson, and Mykolaiv, where physical damage to facilities has occurred. As a result, hundreds of faculty members have been displaced, and thousands of students have had to migrate, leading to a loss of financial resources.
Unfortunately, the war has redirected funding away from Ukrainian academic institutions and research projects, diverting it to address urgent humanitarian needs and military efforts. Consequently, funding that would have supported scholarly activities like research grants and conference participation has been reallocated to support the immediate priorities related to the conflict.
On July 12, 2022, the Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia conducted a webinar on "Academic life during the Russian war in Ukraine." The event's objective was to highlight the current state of science and education in Ukraine in the context of a full-scale, unprovoked war by the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Keynote speakers from Ukraine presented their views on research activities and the main problems and challenges that occurred due to the Russian invasion. The discussion was led by:
