Countless institutions have opened on-site positions for Ukrainian researchers - a huge thanks to them - but we also need support for those who stay in Ukraine and lost their funding/facilities, and often even homes https://t.co/zNryc7Zand

@dagendresen thank you for supporting Ukraine! We're experiencing tough times, and in spite of the fact we will inevitably win, we are going to face a deep economical, social, and institutional crisis. That's why we will need a strong support in capacity enhancement, i.e. in the area of biodiversity management and research. So we need a recovery plan for Ukraine in that area too, right away. Let's call it "Ukrainian biodiversity data management Marshall Plan". Hope ECA 2022 will be a platform for such discussion.
