Request from the Ukrainian Young Scientist Council
The Young Scientist Council, an advisory body of young scientists to the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science, draws attention to the situation of scientists in Ukraine with a publication. According to a survey conducted by the Young Scientist Council, researchers in Ukraine are mainly asking for support in the context of “remote research work”, for example, through the preparation of joint publications, access to data/archives, virtual participation in scientific conferences or as virtual guest lecturers for courses.
The University of Freiburg encourages scientists in Freiburg to maintain contacts with researchers and teachers in Ukraine as far as possible and to be open to networking.
