Synergy and Entropy in the Ukrainian Scientific Landscape in Germany - Humboldt Network & PSI-Meeting

Dresden, 30 November – 02 December 2023

About the Conference

Due to the war in Ukraine, a Ukrainian academic landscape has emerged in Germany within a short period, largely supported by the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation. The conference at the Technische Universität Dresden aims to promote exchange between the researchers sponsored by the Humboldt Foundation. It will include both personal exchange of experiences and a presentation of projects from different academic disciplines. The central question of the conference is whether the special situation since 2022 has produced synergetic effects in sciences and the humanities both within Germany and in exchange with Ukraine, or whether divergent tendencies of entropy can be observed.
