The aim of this workshop with leading experts from Ukraine and other international institutions is to raise awareness about the situation in Ukraine and shed light on the ongoing war-inflicted humanitarian crisis from a demographic point of view. Furthermore, we will discuss how the academic and policy world might be able to provide support to Ukrainian researchers and to maintain scientific cooperation now and in the future.
