The book cites our “University without Walls” https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18680951
I think this is one of the most important conversations higher education needs right now.

Australian data show: most university staff face high psychosocial risk, widespread exhaustion, and growing intentions to leave academia:

In war-affected Ukraine, the picture is even more severe — over 70% of academics report high burnout:

A powerful piece by Professor Marek Tesar in Future Campus highlighting the story of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University — a University without walls, sustained by people, care, and resilience even in wartime:

In our new article, we present the first-ever map of relocations of 35 Ukrainian universities due to the war.
It is the most comprehensive review of relocation models, based on extensive data from 2014–2025.

This presentation was delivered on May 12, 2025, during the International Activity Presentation Day at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University (BSPU). It showcases BSPU's strategic commitment to open science as a response to wartime challenges and institutional displacement. Vice-Rector for Research, Prof. Yana Sychikova, outlines how open science has become a tool for preserving academic continuity, promoting ethical and responsible research practices, and engaging with global initiatives such as the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information, Budapest Open Access Initiative, and CARE Principles. The presentation highlights BSPU’s role in national reforms (Open4UA project), data governance, implementation of FAIR and CARE principles, repository development, metadata standardization, and international collaborations. It also reflects on the evolving concept of a "University without Walls" and how Ukrainian higher education institutions are shaping new models of scientific resilience under crisis conditions.
📢 My piece in The New Voice of Ukraine on the University Without Walls model.
Not a temporary fix — but a new paradigm.
Ukraine, under fire, is reimagining education for the 21st century.
