Founded by Dr. Marten D\u00fcring and Dr. Inna Ganschow, with the support of Dr. Marina Laurent, the initiative aimed to create a platform for academic integration and collegial support. Now, almost four years later, LURN can consider its mission accomplished.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"thumbnail  wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video-vimeo\">\n    <span class=\"thumbnail__container\">\n        <span class=\"thumbnail__body\">\n            <span class=\"icon-rounded p-24 shadow bg-theme\">\n                <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-solid icon--play icon--white\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-solid.svg#icon--play\"><\/use><\/svg>            <\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image w-full object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/vumbnail.com\/1194285276\/a7049a835f.jpg\"\n                    style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>    <\/span>\n    \n<div class=\"modal fade vimeo-modal wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video-vimeo\" id=\"modal-TcEgb\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n    <div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-dialog-scrollable\">\n        <div class=\"modal-content\">\n            \n<div class=\"modal-header\">\n    <div class=\"modal-title\">\n        <h1 id=\"modal-filter-title\">Thumbnail Video<\/h1>\n    <\/div>\n    <button type=\"button\" class=\"modal__btn-close\" data-bs-dismiss=\"modal\">\n        <span class=\"modal__btn-close__name\">Close<\/span>\n    <\/button>\n<\/div>\n            \n<style>\n    .modal-body {\n        padding: 0 !important;\n        flex: auto;\n    }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"modal-body\">\n    <div class=\"vimeo-video\" data-video-url=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1194285276?h=a7049a835f\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The closing event of LURN was held in conjunction with the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/articles\/collection-of-ukrainian-testimonies-of-the-war-launched-in-luxembourg\/\"> launch of the U-CORE collection<\/a> of Ukrainian war testimonies in Luxembourg, for which 17 LURN members were interviewed and invited to participate in a co-creation experiment. Following the first two parts of the event \u2013 which included project and application presentations as well as a roundtable discussion with international scholars on oral history, ethics, and technology, the final segment featured a retrospective on nearly four years of LURN by one of its co-founders, Inna Ganschow, as well as presented results from a survey among LURN members by Marten D\u00fcring, followed by gifts and flowers as a token of gratitude for the most active LURN members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her presentation, Ganschow emphasized that LURN is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c2dh.uni.lu\/report\/2022\/science-for-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dynamic network<\/a> whose mission and priorities have evolved over time. To this end, the network initially sought not only collaboration with Ukrainian scholars in Luxembourg, but also with local diaspora communities such as the Ukrainian school, the library, the Scouts, the student organization, the Ukrainian-language program \u201cKalyna\u201d on Radio ARA, and Ukrainians on professional social media (LinkedIn). Also looking beyond the borders of the Greater Region to forge ties with academic communities in neighboring countries \u2013 such as Ukrainian networks in France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands \u2013 and organizing a joint BeNeLURN conference in March 2023 were additional ways to remain true to the mission of promoting academic integration in Luxembourg and throughout Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another mission of LURN was to encourage collaboration between Ukrainian researchers and local researchers. Approximately twenty workshops were held for Ukrainian researchers on topics such as academic communication, career strategies outside academia, job search and interviews, digital tools and artificial intelligence, scholarly virtues, and many more. Colleagues from the University of Luxembourg, the Luxembourg School of Business, UL Incubator, SnT, C\u00b2DH, and several other organizations were involved in providing knowledge and competences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"LURN closure event\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102159\/IMG_0210.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102159\/IMG_0210-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102159\/IMG_0210-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102159\/IMG_0210-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102159\/IMG_0210-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102159\/IMG_0210.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 1\/1; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"LURN closure event\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102332\/IMG_0211.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102332\/IMG_0211-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102332\/IMG_0211-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102332\/IMG_0211-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102332\/IMG_0211-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102332\/IMG_0211.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 1\/1; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"LURN closure event\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102425\/IMG_0198.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102425\/IMG_0198-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102425\/IMG_0198-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21102425\/IMG_0198.jpg 1125w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 62.00% 85.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 62.00% 85.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 1\/1; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, LURN has matured into a self-managed academic community led by researchers Alexey Aleksandrov, Oleksiy Kiriukhin, Zhanna Serdiuk, Olga Kryvets, and, remotely, Ihor Dunaev. The network has organized a wide range of academic and professional activities, including 17 LURN meetings, two international meetings, one international conference, one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/events\/forced-labor-in-my-family-s-memories\/\">roundtable<\/a>, and the publication of its own digest. LURN members were engaged in interdisciplinary initiatives such as the conference \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/events\/ukrainian-studies-across-the-borders\/\">Ukrainian Studies Across  the Borders<\/a>\u201d and in participatory workshops of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/research-projects\/u-core\/\">U-CORE<\/a>\u201d oral history project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, LURN can be seen as a model for a sustainable platform for any displaced scholars\u2019 communities in terms of professional networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of LURN members\u2019 outputs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Viktoriia Gorbunova &#8211; Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie (MSCA) grant;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Olga Kryvets &#8211; FNR grant;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Zhanna Serdiuk &#8211; Grand Duchess Charlotte Foundation grant;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Kseniia Fedorova and Kateryna Ivanishchenko &#8211; PhD positions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Liudmyla Momotiuk and Nadiia Novytska \u2013 employed in semi-academic roles;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Viacheslav Vdovichenko and Valentyna Kuryliak \u2013 employed in the United States;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Kateryna Zakharchuk, Iurii Skobel and Inna Ganschow \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/articles\/stitching-memory\/\">Thinkering AI Grant at the C\u00b2DH<\/a>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Iryna Pogrebinska and Kateryna Zakharchuk\u2013 employees at U-CORE;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Oleksiy Kiriukhin \u2013 visiting researcher at UL and UniGR-CBS at the University of Li\u00e8ge&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In his presentation of the questionnaire results, Marten D\u00fcring was able to show that the feedback from LURN members regarding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c2dh.uni.lu\/report\/2024\/Lurn\">network\u2019s achievements<\/a> was rated as decidedly positive. The network\u2019s goals, such as creating a sense of community among Ukrainian scholars, were rated as positive, although contacts with local researchers were partially evaluated as unsatisfactory. The knowledge and expertise provided also scored highly, as did the willingness to now start their own organization with colleagues. In general, expectations were met, and the questionnaire revealed a strong sense of community also in shared activities outside of LURN, including hiking, attending cultural events, and maintaining personal connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event concluded with an honor for C\u00b2DH Director Andreas Fickers, who provided institutional support, as well as for Marten D\u00fcring, Inna Ganschow, and LURN activists, followed by a reception. The next step is reconnecting via the UL\u2019s alumni platform, where LURN members are now welcomed as former staff members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-button-list-v2\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-button-list-item-v2\"><a class=\"quick-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21095019\/LURN-inauguration-meeting.pdf\" target=\"\" role=\"link\" rel=\"noopener\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"quick-link__container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-block-inserter quick-link__img\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"quick-link__name wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">LURN inauguration meeting presentation<\/span>\n\n<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--download \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--download\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-button-list-item-v2\"><a class=\"quick-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/21094953\/Final-LURN-meeting-presentation-Ganschow.pdf\" target=\"\" role=\"link\" rel=\"noopener\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"quick-link__container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-block-inserter quick-link__img\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"quick-link__name wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Final LURN meeting presentation by Inna Ganschow<\/span>\n\n<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--download \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--download\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The support initiative for Ukrainian scholars in Luxembourg, created by Prof. Marten D\u00fcring and Dr. Inna Ganschow in August 2022, celebrated its closure in May 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":13044,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":{"x":0.67,"y":0.47},"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[4],"news-topic":[],"organisation":[221],"authorship":[57],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>LURN is Closed!
