The Results of The Survey on The Needs of Ukrainian Scientists (Part II)

This research was undertaken in response to an urgent need to identify the key challenges faced by researchers during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. This report presents the results of the second wave of data collection as part of the UAScience.Reload initiatives. The survey was conducted in October- November 2022 and distributed through the Press Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the network of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, and the work addresses of researchers and educators. A total of 1729 responses were received and analyzed. The survey findings provide insights into the demographics, living conditions, and challenges faced by Ukrainian scientists during a period of war. Understanding such specific challenges faced by scientists can inform policy decisions and support mechanisms aimed at safeguarding the scientific community and promoting continued scientific progress on war-affected territories. Further research and targeted interventions can build upon these findings to address the identified needs and create a conducive environment for scientific advancement during times of war.
