Call for participation – Chance for Science Conference 2022

Conference for Academics affected by the war in Ukraine

Chance for Science invites all academics, students and scientists affected by the war in Ukraine to participate at the “Chance for Science Conference 2022” which will be held online on the platform Zoom on April 22, 2022. To participate, please sign up by filling out the form with your personal details and submitting your abstract as well as your presentation by April 15, 2022. Participation is completely free of charge. The Conference will be held in English and streamed live on YouTube.

Overview

At the conference, speakers will be able to share their research and knowledge on any specific topic in their field of expertise. Academics, scientists and students affected by the war on the one hand, and academics, practitioners, businesses and research institutions and organizations from Germany on the other hand will come together to enable a lasting academic exchange and to build new networks within their scientific area. With the conference, Chance for Science would like to provide a platform to connect academics and scholars who are searching for contacts in Germany as they cannot continue their scientific work and research because of the horrific effects and consequences of the war in Ukraine. Additionally, a session with information about research and study funding opportunities for scholars will be held during the conference. Participants may get in touch with speakers directly in smaller breakout sessions after the presentations.

Who may speak at the Conference?

Scientists, academics and students from all scientific fields and disciplines that are interested in presenting their research or knowledge may participate. Scientific work presented may include, e.g., data, topics and sections from research papers, doctoral or master’s dissertations or current research projects. As the conference will be held online, we will make sure that anyone who is interested and who qualifies to present is able to participate regardless from where you are currently staying, whether in Ukraine, Germany or any other country. We will try to provide an alternative presentation mode if a stable internet connection cannot be ensured.
