Academics in Ukraine’s Frontline Cities
Academics in Ukraine’s Frontline Cities
This event will explore how academics in universities located in frontline cities have adapted to war-related challenges. Drawing on recent research on higher education resilience during wartime, the discussion will revolve around the impact of war on academic institutions, faculties and staff, and teaching and learning processes with a focus on adaptation strategies and long-term consequences for the sector. The participants will present findings from their research and experiences at various higher education institutions in the frontline city of Kharkiv, addressing issues such as the institutional sustainability of higher education, academic mobility, migration and the motivations of educators.
This event is organised by the Ukraine Research Network@ZOiS (UNET), funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, jointly with the Competence Network Interdisciplinary Ukrainian Studies (KIU), funded by the DAAD with funds from the Federal Foreign Office.
