Description
The international R&E community includes many people whose lives are deeply affected by global crises.This Community Hub session explores the experience of living and working abroad while war continues at home. Through reflections from Ukrainian colleagues working for NRENs in Europe, we will share what it means to remain professionally active while family members, friends, and communities face daily danger. This session will connect these personal perspectives with the work of the Humanitarian Support Group for NRENs, highlighting how the R&E community can respond not only technically, but also humanly.
