Project goals:
With the financial support of the Warm City Grants, on 27-29 June 2023, to hold an all-Ukrainian scientific conference with the participation of outstanding scientists, including foreign scientists, with an increase in the proportion of students and post-graduate students from eastern Ukraine due to compensation for their hotel accommodation during the conference.
Specific project objectives are:
1. To set up an organising committee and a working group for the conference. Invite leading lecturers and prepare the programme for the event.
2. To create and promote the project website.
3. Purchase of necessary goods (stationery, coffee breaks, etc.).
4. Liaise with invited participants to provide them with financial support to increase their chances of attending the conference.
5. Improving the image of Ivano-Frankivsk through feedback from event participants.
Expected results:
1. Short-term – Participation in the conference will give the participants from the front and other areas, who are in a difficult emotional state, the opportunity to get a “breath of fresh air”, the opportunity to do their favourite thing again and to realise their scientific potential. Here they will feel relatively safe, make new acquaintances, get to know the culture of Ivano-Frankivsk and, finally, visit hotels and restaurants, thus strengthening the city’s economy and providing an opportunity for small and large businesses to continue to contribute.
2. Long-term – Ivano-Frankivsk will retain its reputation as a city with a strong scientific school in the field of natural sciences. There is a lively interest in science, so further scientific or educational grants, proposals for cooperation with various universities will come here. The city may become popular for holding similar scientific forums in the future
