and conversations with the displaced Ukrainian
scientists. The scientists were made aware of
the UK Researchers at Risk Fellowship
programme provided by the British Academy.
The programme was set up to bring Ukrainian
academics to the UK to safely continue their
research through a host institution.
The trustees met with the Technology Transfer
Manager William Mortimer at the University of
Surrey. The discussion centred around
opportunities for the displaced Ukrainian
scientists to be provided with the safe place to
work and continue their research at the
Technology Transfer Department. This would
benefit both the scientists and the University,
as new ideas and new products would be
developed.
The trustees discussed a possibility of offering
placements to the displaced Ukrainian
scientists not only at UK Universities, but also
in commercial companies. A number of
meetings and discussions took place in relation
to this.
The trustees had an online meeting with
Professor Inga Prokopenko at the University of
Surrey. Inga advised on where to find job
vacancies for the English-speaking scientists
and how to approach job interviews in the
academic environment.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You mav choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||Achievements against
