As we approach the end of the year, we look back with deep reflection and gratitude. The past years have continued to challenge Ukraine and its scientific community in ways that once seemed unimaginable. War has changed lives, reshaped priorities, and tested our resilience. Yet, despite all uncertainty, Ukrainian scientists continue to work, learn, teach, and contribute to global geoscience.
Throughout this difficult time, the support of EAGE has been unwavering. Free membership opportunities, open access to conferences and workshops, and strong international solidarity have allowed Ukrainian professionals and students to remain connected to the global scientific community. This support is not only practical — it is deeply symbolic and profoundly motivating.
Together, we have continued to build. Conferences such as GeoTerrace and Monitoring, as well as thematic workshops, have proven that science in Ukraine is alive, adaptive, and forward-looking. These events are more than meetings — they are a testament to our resilience, cooperation, and belief in the future.
Looking ahead to 2026, we are committed to continuing this journey: creating platforms for young professionals, strengthening international collaboration, and addressing the critical scientific and societal challenges facing our country and the world.
We sincerely thank everyone who stood with us, contributed their time, expertise, and trust, and helped make these initiatives possible.
We wish peace, strength, and inspiration to all Ukrainians, and hope that the coming year will bring new opportunities, renewed stability, and shared success.
With warmest wishes for the holiday season and the New Year,
EAGE in Ukraine Team
