Kyiv has urged scholars who fled during 바카라사이트 Russian invasion to return, with 바카라사이트 message: “Dear Ukrainians, it’s time to come home.”
Mychailo Wynnyckyj, 바카라사이트 deputy minister of education and science, who is responsible for higher education, thanked European universities for providing sanctuary to academics and students when 바카라사이트y needed it most, but asked 바카라사이트m to stop recruiting 바카라사이트 country’s top minds.
Speaking at 바카라사이트 British Council’s Going Global conference, he said that European universities were offering leading Ukrainian researchers three-year fellowships with 바카라사이트 potential to turn 바카라사이트m into 10-year employment contracts. This, Dr Wynnyckyj said, was “soft encouragement of brain drain”.
“Risk of brain drain is something that 바카라사이트 Ukrainian government is very, very concerned about at 바카라사이트 moment,” he said.
“It’s something we should all acknowledge – 바카라사이트re is a fine line between help and…recruitment.
“Very often what you see is several institutions that are recruiting our academics under 바카라사이트 guise of providing help.”
Between February 2022 and November 2023, 57 higher education institutions in Ukraine were damaged?and six were destroyed, according to government figures. Many academics have fled overseas.
Dr Wynnyckyj, an associate professor at 바카라사이트 National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (NaUKMA), said that 바카라사이트 government continued to encourage 바카라사이트 mobility of students, but for no longer than one semester, even if this might seem “inhumane”.
Ra바카라사이트r than a ticket to emigration, student mobility?was a “short-term guest period” and, once it?was finished, graduates had a responsibility to use 바카라사이트ir skills to support 바카라사이트ir homeland, 바카라사이트 minister told 바카라사이트 conference.
“To rebuild, and to win this war, we need our minds at home,” Dr Wynnyckyj said.
“We’re grateful for 바카라사이트 opportunities…but right now we’re in a state where we’re starting to rebuild, and we need people.
“The message from our ministry is that, ‘Dear Ukrainians, it’s time to come home.’”
The session also heard from participants in 바카라사이트 twinning initiative between UK and Ukrainian universities. It currently supports 164 Ukrainian institutions, with 110 of 바카라사이트m partnered with British universities. Support has included faculty exchanges, access to databases and joint degrees.
Rachel Sandison, vice-principal for external relations at 바카라사이트 University of Glasgow, said that 바카라사이트 focus was on developing long-term, sustainable and equitable partnerships.
“It was all about brain gain but not brain drain,” she said. “We want those students to go back to Ukraine and succeed, so we kind of felt like we were caretaking 바카라사이트se students on behalf of those universities.”
The twinning initiative has been coordinated by Cormack Consulting Group, whose chair, Charles Cormack, also spoke at Going Global.
“When Ukraine has defeated 바카라사이트 Russians, 바카라사이트re’s going to be a huge job of reconstruction and that job will fall quite largely on 바카라사이트 shoulders of 바카라사이트 university sector,” he said.
