Organizer – State Scientific Institution “Ukrainian Institute of Scientific and Technical Expertise and Information”.

Wars have a significant impact on the sustainability of scientific systems and scientists, often resulting in decreased research funding, disruptions in scientific communities, and the cessation of research processes. However, they also contribute to the emergence of new technological advances. Researchers, as a key source of scientific knowledge, play a critical role in maintaining the productivity and progress of science during conflict. However, the lack of empirical data on this issue often limits the evidence for decision making. In our study, we aim to examine the impact of war on the perceived productivity of scientists by considering the example of the ongoing war in Ukraine. By exploring the challenges researchers face and the factors that contribute to their resilience, we aim to provide valuable insight into the needs of wartime science. Understanding the experiences and needs of scientists can help develop policies and strategies that support and enhance the resilience of scientific systems during times of crisis.
