Our new article:
Raw material supplier or strategic actor? Ukraine’s future in the rare earth sector

Can Ukraine move from exporting ore to technological sovereignty?

Australian data show: most university staff face high psychosocial risk, widespread exhaustion, and growing intentions to leave academia:

In war-affected Ukraine, the picture is even more severe — over 70% of academics report high burnout: doi.org/10.1057/s415...

Today we celebrate Women and Girls in Science — and remind ourselves that visibility matters as much as participation (lecture: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...).

A powerful piece by Professor Marek Tesar in Future Campus highlighting the story of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University — a University without walls, sustained by people and care, even in wartime:

Are review articles dying? Not quite.
Generative AI isn’t replacing reviews, it’s separating descriptive syntheses from reflexive, field-shaping work. The future of reviews lies in interpretation, where human judgment remains indispensable

Instead of evacuating far from risk, some Ukrainian universities chose to relocate within their region during the war. Based on interviews in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, we introduce flexible regional relocation as a strategy of educational resilience.

Gave a lecture today on Digital & AI Tools for Responsible Science at Kyiv Aviation Institute 🇺🇦
We discussed how digital tools and AI support the full research lifecycle and why impact, responsibility, and ethics matter.

The war in Ukraine is turning academic burnout into a cumulative condition. Prolonged uncertainty and loss of control lead to exhaustion, numbing, and loss of meaning among university lecturers.

Grateful to the Future Campus team for launching this fundraiser to support students of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University during ongoing power outages in Ukraine.

Emergency power = access to learning.

I took part in the 3rd International Conference “Integrity, Open Science and Artificial Intelligence in Academia and Beyond” (IOSAI-2025), where we presented our work on AI stigmatization in academia

Today I proudly presented the results of BSPU’s Open Science Policy implementation to our Academic Council: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
As part of Open4UA, we advance #OpenScience, support #CoARA, #DORA and build a resilient “university without walls.”

Last week I had the honour to join the TAIEX expert mission on evaluating Ukraine’s National Open Science Plan. Today, a smaller group of participants met to reflect on the key findings and define next steps.

Our story of rebuilding a University Without Walls after displacement and war — now beautifully told by Tim Winkler in Future Campus.

Russia doesn’t just occupy cities — it occupies knowledge.
Universities become tools of propaganda, “academic diplomacy” a channel of influence.
My op-ed in New Voice of Ukraine on how Moscow manipulates global academia:

#HigherEducation #AcademicFreedom #ScienceAndWar

The best article on academic production I’ve read recently.

It’s refreshing to see such a polyphony of voices, where the authors both critically challenge and convincingly justify the system — in a way that feels deeply organic and intellectually honest.

I had my science day: spoke at IEEE KhPI Week about cadmium–tellurium heterostructures for optoelectronics and solar energy ☀️
Then — a meeting on Open4UA, and finishing the day with Ukrainian Reproducibility Network.

Guest Post: Classifying AI Use in Manuscript Preparation – A Recommendation - The Scholarly Kitchen The STM Association offers a classification scheme for the various possible uses of AI, including GenAI, in the preparation of manuscripts.

Major publishers via the STM Association, published an AI classification for manuscripts: scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/09/23/g...
In The Scholarly Kitchen they also mentioned GAIDeT among transparency initiatives: doi.org/10.1080/0898...

GAIDeT (Generative AI Delegation Taxonomy): A taxonomy for humans to delegate tasks to generative artificial intelligence in scientific research and publishing | doi.org/10.1080/0898...

Far more authors use AI to write science papers than admit it, publisher reports Finding highlights promise, questions about detectors of AI-generated text

📰 Science reports: 4 times more researchers use AI than admit it.
The reason? Fear and confusion over disclosure rules: doi.org/10.1126/scie...
🔓 The #GAIDeT taxonomy removes that barrier — enabling honest AI contribution disclosure without stigma: doi.org/10.1080/0898...
