International Science and Technology Center and Science and Technology Center in Ukraine

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to join (1) the International Science and Technology Center, and (2) the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine.

Answer

His Majesty's Government (HMG) already engages with the International Science and Technology Center and the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine; we have no current plans to join them. HMG aims to ensure that science and technology underpins Ukraine's recovery and is exploring ways to deepen our connections and engagement with a range of institutions in Ukraine. To date, the focus has been on supporting researchers at risk, a twinning programme for UK and Ukrainian universities and supporting the tech sector, which will be a focus for the forthcoming Ukraine Recovery Conference.
