This event aims to create a reflective and forward-looking space to discuss the role of the Medical University of Vienna in relation to Ukraine—past, present, and future. It brings together Ukrainian colleagues and key stakeholders to exchange experiences, assess current cooperation formats, and jointly explore sustainable academic partnerships.
The event is designed not only as a forum for discussion, but also as a sign of institutional solidarity, recognition, and long-term commitment.
