Ukrainian Academy: Past, Present and Future

Ukrainian Academy: Past, Present and Future

We cordially invite You into the Library of the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau to visit exhibitions:

• “50 Inventions Bestowed by Ukraine to the World”  
• “Ukrainian academy at wartime” 

Exhibitions can be visited also ONLINE at TH Wildau virtual (Ukrainian cademy at wartime) and at the Ukrainian Presidential Administration (50 inventions that Ukraine gives to the world).

Exhibitions will be open for general public for one month (November 9 to December 20, 2023):

• “50 Inventions Bestowed by Ukraine to the World” presents the achievements of Ukrainian science. There is hardly anybody who is not using WhatsApp or has not heard about The Big Bang theory, but what do they have to do with Ukraine? Professional illustrators followed the footsteps of Ukrainian inventors and created 50 artworks highlighting the outstanding discoveries and inventions that arose from ingenuity of the researchers and engineers, surgeons and explorers of Ukraine.
• With the new exhibition “Ukrainian academy at wartime”, the awareness on the resilience of the Ukrainian educational and scientific system is increased and its vital role in the full-scale resistance to the Russian aggression. The non-stop work and mobilized resources made possible not only continuing education, but also saving lives. The exhibition pays tribute to the killed students with „Unissued diplomas“ pieces as well as draws attention to the destroyed academic infrastructure. With this exhibition, it is aimed to highlight Ukrainian academy’ resilience in facing the war challenges and support to the nation in its fight for freedom.

Finally we will overview how Ukrainian-German cooperation was transformed in wartime and discuss how to support and rebuild academia in Ukraine in future.
