Sanctions in Science - One year of sanctions. A virtual panel discussion

It is now more than a year, that Russia invaded Ukraine. After 24 Feb 2022 many science organizations and institutes in the western countries imposed sanctions on scientific cooperation with Russian and Belorussian scientists, ranging from banning all common publications to replacing the affiliations of Russian scientists. In the discussion on scientific cooperation, some scientists question even the ideas that science can act as a driver for peace and that science can build bridges. 


The Science4Peace Forum, together with Naturwissenschaftler:innen für Frieden und Zukunftsfähigkeit e.V. and W&F - Wissenschaft & Frieden, invite for a virtual panel discussion:

Sanctions in Science - One year of sanctions
