  • Tatiana Shchyttsova took part in discussion “Academia in Exile”

    September 27, 2023

    Tatiana Shchyttsova, Advisor to Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya on Education and Science, took part in the panel discussion “Academia in Exile”, which was dedicated to academic freedom in a democratic society and scientists in exile. 

    Ms. Shchyttsova's speech was an opportunity to draw the attention of the international academic community to the situation in Belarus and the situation of Belarusian scientists both inside the country and in exile. 

    Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s Advisor talked about constant surveillance and detentions of students and teachers, which have become common in Belarusian universities. She also mentioned politically imprisoned scientists and experts, such as Valeryia Kastsiuhova and Tatsiana Kouzina, and the colossal prison terms they were sentenced to for their activities. 

    The participants of the discussion agreed that scientists in exile need both humanitarian support and favorable conditions for professional growth.
