As the war in Ukraine enters its fourth month, Russian forces continue to destroy the nation’s scientific institutions and infrastructure, signaling Russia’s intent to obliterate the future for Ukraine. In Kharkiv, for instance, the renowned Institute of Physics and Technology and its newly built Neutron Source nuclear facility have been heavily damaged. Even the Plant Production Institute with its underground national seed bank—one of the world’s largest—has been bombed. At the Chernobyl nuclear labs, Russian forces have looted or destroyed hundreds of computers, radiation dosimeters, and irreplaceable software and equipment. Although the response to each international science crisis is necessarily unique, the US National Academy of Sciences is once again joining with international and regional partners to support beleaguered colleagues, as it did last year in the successful extraction and resettlement of Afghanistan scientists at risk from the Taliban. To that end, the national science academies of Poland, Ukraine, and the United States recently convened a meeting of leaders from several national science academies (including the presidents of Germany’s Leopoldina science academy, the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, and the ALLEA European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities, and leaders from the Royal Society of the United Kingdom) to explore how the global science community can best help Ukraine. The resulting 10-point action plan for the world’s research community aims to help meet several immediate needs and also provide the building blocks for revitalizing Ukrainian science in the future.

乌克兰科学的未来

随着乌克兰战争进入第四个月，俄罗斯军队继续摧毁该国的科学机构和基础设施，这表明俄罗斯有意抹杀乌克兰的未来。例如，在哈尔科夫，著名的物理技术研究所及其新建的中子源核设施遭到严重破坏。甚至植物生产研究所及其地下国家种子库——世界上最大的种子库之一——也遭到了轰炸。在切尔诺贝利核实验室，俄罗斯军队洗劫或摧毁了数百台计算机、辐射剂量计以及不可替代的软件和设备。尽管对每一次国际科学危机的反应都必然是独一无二的，但美国国家科学院再次与国际和地区合作伙伴一起为陷入困境的同事提供支持，就像去年成功撤离和重新安置处于塔利班危险中的阿富汗科学家一样。为此，波兰、乌克兰和美国的国家科学院最近召开了一次由多个国家科学院（包括德国莱奥波迪纳科学院院长、丹麦皇家科学与文学院院长和 ALLEA 院长）组成的会议。欧洲科学院和人文学院联合会以及英国皇家学会的领导人）探讨全球科学界如何最好地帮助乌克兰。为世界研究界制定的 10 点行动计划旨在帮助满足一些紧迫的需求，并为未来振兴乌克兰科学提供基石。
