A new report by #ScienceForUkraine quantifies and assesses the adequacy of the support mechanisms in meeting the needs of displaced Ukrainian scientists. The study also explores implications for policymakers and scientific institutions for the effective design and implementation of support programmes aimed at scientists in times of crisis.

To meet the needs of displaced

Ukrainian scientists, the global scientific community spontaneously initiated various forms of support, but their adequacy has been difficult to assess. This new survey report by #ScienceForUkraine, entitled Scientific Support Offers for Ukrainians: Determinants, Reasons and Consequences, provides an urgently needed window into the nuanced factors determining the supply, demand, and success of support.

As emphasized by

The authors, despite the substantial impact of the war on Ukrainian science and the prioritization of the issue by European and US science policy-makers, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the concrete outcomes of the support programmes. To gain valuable insights from this crisis and enhance the resilience of the science sector, it is imperative to meticulously assess the effectiveness of these programmes, determining if these efforts overseas data were indeed sufficient and addressing the scientists’ actual needs.

Key findings

Following the analysis of support offers from 2,400 potential hosts, the authors highlighted the following key findings:Scholarships represent the most in-demand type of support offered, likely due to the inherent flexibility in these positions when compared to other roles.

Researchers seeking support exhibited virtually no preference for specific host countries, indicating a prioritization of security, immediate support, and research fit over long-term career prospects related to a country’s wealth or scientific prominence.
