Stand with Ukraine: Support the next generation of medical professionals

Meeting, Wednesday 14th May 2025, 13.00 UK time, 14.00 CEST, 15.00 Ukraine time

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
  • Viktoriia Borshch, Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor of Management in Healthcare, Odessa National Medical University, Ukraine
  • Oleksandr Shakhanov, PhD student, “A modern approach to the treatment of chronic wounds”, Odessa National Medical University, Ukraine
  • Borys Bovsunovskyi, PhD student, “Optimisation of bone canal formation technique in osteosynthesis”, Odessa National Medical University, Ukraine
  • Daria Drobot, PhD student, “Visfatin as a marker for the development of atypical hyperplasia and endometrial cancer in women with metabolic syndrome”, Odessa National Medical University, Ukraine

This is a chance to make a real difference. Show your support, stand with Ukraine, and discover how you can play a vital role in mentoring and supporting Ukraine’s next generation of medical professionals.

Supported by Cardiff University.

Science advice at a time of crisis: Are we better prepared, or is more still to be done?


Tuesday 13th May, 15:00-16:00 CEST; 14:00-15:00 UK and Ireland

The first five years of the 2020s have seen policymakers wrestling with major challenges, including the global pandemic, international military conflicts and significant political and economic uncertainty, as well as the escalating impacts of climate change.

What lessons have we learned from recent crises in terms of how science advice mechanisms perform? What remains to be done to strengthen our science advice ecosystems, infrastructures, processes and practices to deal with what lies ahead?

Join us for this webinar, which is free and open to all.  It is a side event to the European Scientific Advice Mechanism 2025 Conference, Building bridges: shaping Europe’s science-for-policy-landscape.

We’re delighted to welcome back some of the international panel who debated this topic with us in 2022, alongside new experts and perspectives:

This event is organised and hosted by Academia Europaea Cardiff and SAPEA, in partnership with UPEN.
