A delegation from Ukraine’s research community, led by first deputy minister for education and science, Andrii Vitrenko, came to Brussels last week for the first joint meeting on research and innovation with the European Commission.
The meeting centred around continuing to support the country, as the full-on russian invasion drags into its tenth month.
Executive Director of the NRFU Olga Polotska was also a member of the delegation. She emphasized that it’s time to start planning the future of a free Ukraine. The war continues, but many researchers are in their labs and desks working. “Strange as it may seem, it’s like that,” said Olga Polotska. “It’s just the time to start discussing all sorts of support for the recovery of Ukraine. Otherwise, there will be a lot of time wasted. The war has already thrown us back in many aspects.”
