Associate Professor Sanita Reinsone (University of Latvia) and initiator of the NGO #ScienceForUkraine will speak about the vital role of international cooperation and active support in protecting Ukraine’s cultural heritage, sustaining research, and strengthening professional communities under war conditions. There will also be an opportunity to hear the experiences of the project partners – Space4CC, Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art of the University of Latvia, University of Ljubljana and Lviv Polytechnic National University.

The event concludes a project launched at the end of 2023. The Data4UA project aimed to enhance the capacity of European higher education institutions (HEIs) to address cultural heritage emergencies, particularly in Ukraine. It focused on examining HEIs’ and society’s response to heritage crises, improving the knowledge and skills of HE staff and students in heritage safeguarding, and exploring HEIs’ role in promoting societal responses.
