ILFA’s leading researcher spotlighted in the “Nature”
On September 11, 2024, "Nature" featured an in-depth look at the challenging circumstances faced by Ukrainian science amidst the war. The article showcased the significant effort of the #ScienceForUkraine NGO, led by Sanita Reinsone from the Institute of Literature, Folklore, and Art of the University of Latvia to support Ukrainian scholars. In the interview, Reinsone reflects on the history of this initiative, which began as a personal endeavor in February 2022 and quickly evolved into a large-scale organization involving over 130 volunteer scholars and students from 30 countries at its peak. Over the years, the #ScienceForUkraine has collaborated with many national and international scale science organizations, such as the International Science Council, ALLEA, EBSCO, and others.
The Latvian Association of Young Scientists was instrumental in the formation of #ScienceForUkraine with its Board member Matīss Reinfelds being in the leadership team. Additionally, numerous researchers and students from several Latvian higher education and research institutions have participated in #ScienceForUkraine's efforts.
Today, as a non-governmental organization, registered in Latvia, #ScienceForUkraine persistently upholds a consolidated database of support for Ukrainian scholars and provides an Academic Micro Travel Grant program to facilitate the academic mobility of Ukrainian scholars.
