A planning committee of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a workshop on Rebuilding Research, Education, and Innovation in Ukraine to examine best practices in designing and managing national systems of scientific research, higher education, and innovation. Participants will include recognized experts in all three of these fields from the United States, Ukraine, and other economically and technologically advanced countries, particularly in Europe.
Participants will explore the design, management, and financing of national research, education and innovation systems, as well as lessons learned from the United States and Europe, including reforms in countries such as Poland and Estonia. Of particular interest are best practices that have proven sustainable over time and have created the human capacity needed for a modern, twenty-first century competitive economy. The workshop will investigate how to take advantage of Ukraine's considerable scientific and technical strengths to create a vibrant, productive, and internationally competitive economy. Also, considering the possibility of massive global financial support for Ukraine's reconstruction, the workshop will offer a unique opportunity to determine pathways for external assistance, as well as the most effective targeting and allocation of resources in Ukraine's research, higher education, and innovation sectors.
A Proceedings in Brief will be published following the workshop.
