The russian invasion of Ukraine in February 24, 2022 has resulted in devastation, including loss of life, massive internal and external migration, and the partial or complete destruction of facilities and infrastructure. This poses urgent challenges for Ukraine’s science, education, and technology sectors.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (National Academies) convened a workshop from September 21–23, 2022 to discuss rebuilding research, education, and innovation in Ukraine. The National Academies recognizes that the devastation of the war in Ukraine will make rebuilding particularly difficult and humanitarian aid will remain a top priority for a long time. As a result, while many of the best practices described will be difficult to implement in the short-term, the goal of the workshop was to convene the international scientific community to discuss the importance of science, innovation, and education to Ukraine’s long-term rebuilding and its post-war future.
The ‘Proceedings of a Workshop — in Brief’ provides a high-level summary of the workshop discussions on best practices for managing science, higher education, innovation, and research funding from the international community.
