Webinar: Academic collaborations in a time of war, conflicts, and political tensions

Beskrivelse

The Russian attack on Ukraine has prompted a wide range of sanctions, including “science sanctions” targeting universities in Russia and Belarus. Science sanctions impact academic collaborations and call for reflections on how we as academics should handle our international contacts in both short- and long-term perspectives.

These reflections should be part of a wider discussion on how we best can navigate responsibly and provide support in a world marked by conflicts, political tensions, democratic decline, and rising authoritarianism.

Introduction by Ole Petter Ottersen, President, Karolinska Institutet and Robert Harris, Academic Vice President for Doctoral Education, Karolinska Institutet.
