Science at Risk - digital platform and community of Ukrainian scientists
Goal and impact:
We provide the information on research job and funding opportunities, on administrative procedures that affect researchers when moving to a Spain, as well as some resources to support your professional development. EURAXESS Spain is part of a European Commission initiative made up of a network is of more than 500 European Services Centres in 40 different countries that provide free of charge assistance to researchers and their families in matters such as visas, recognition of diplomas, social security and any other legal and cultural aspect.
We would like to discuss challenges in science that arose because of the Russian-Ukrainian war and ways to overcome them. On the one hand, the challenges that Ukrainian scientists are overcoming today are unique and valuable for the entire scientific community in the world. On the other hand, science is the key to the successful recovery of Ukraine. With the support of the community Science at Risk, we would like to open ways for Ukrainian scientists in Spain to participate in this discussion.
