We wish to express our deep gratitude to our foreign partners for their invaluable help.

Meeting Concept

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, close to 5 million Ukrainians - including hundreds of scientists and researchers - have fled the country. More have gone to Poland than to any other country in Europe.

The Polish Academy of Sciences, under the leadership of President Jerzy Duszyński, has spearheaded efforts to find placements and funding for Ukrainian scientists in Polish research institutions until these researchers can return to Ukraine.

Molly Galvin spoke with Duszyński about the future of Ukrainian science, how the Polish academy got involved in helping Ukraine, and the ways the war may impact science globally.
