Academia Europaea Cardiff is taking action to support Ukrainian researchers facing scientific isolation due to war. In collaboration with Odessa National Medical University, we are launching a pilot initiative to connect Ukrainian PhD students – qualified medical professionals – with academic mentors across Europe.
Join our meeting this May, chaired by our Hub Director Professor Ole Petersen CBE FRS ML MAE, to hear directly from representatives of Odessa National Medical University and the PhD students seeking academic support in the areas of medicine and health. Through short talks and personal stories, they will share their challenges, aspirations, and the crucial role international collaboration can play in sustaining Ukrainian medical research.
Our speakers include:
- Valerie O’Donnell MAE, Research Professor, School of Medicine, Cardiff University
- Alexei Verkhratsky MAE, Professor of Neurophysiology, University of Manchester, UK
- Valeriia Marichereda, First Vice-Rector, Professor of gynaecology and obstetrics, Odessa National Medical University, Ukraine
