Today, 12 March 2026, the 1st Ukrainian–European Science Diplomacy Forum is hosted at the University of Vienna (Aula am Campus, Spitalgasse 2, 1090 Vienna). The Forum is organised by the Ukrainian Science Diaspora in Austria (USciDA) in partnership with European and Ukrainian institutions.
The Forum serves as a high-level platform for dialogue on science diplomacy, recovery and resilience, and international research cooperation. The programme includes institutional contributions followed by three thematic panels on: the strategic role of the Ukrainian Science Diaspora in Europe; multilateral science diplomacy and global research alliances; and cooperation across diplomacy, heritage, arts and culture.
Time: 10:00–18:15 (registration from 09:30), followed by informal networking until 20:00.
The Forum will also produce two policy briefs on EU-Ukraine integration through science diplomacy and on academic integration/support for displaced researchers.
