TWAS Plus issue is out - Vol. 5, No. 3

At an event in Trieste the situation of scientists and science students fleeing from war in neighbouring countries or distant countries was given attention.

How should their new countries respond? At an event organised by the University of Trieste (Italy) and TWAS, local researchers acknowledged many effective programmes.

The TWAS film "Science in Exile" was screened at the event. Click here for more information.
