Studenckie Koło Naukowe Odbudowy Ukrainy

Yesterday, our team traded our desks for the .uniters at the .foundation! 🎁✨

We had the privilege of visiting our long-time friends at .foundation to support their incredible “Superelf” initiative. This project is close to our hearts - it ensures that children living on the frontline in Ukraine, often just kilometers from the war zone, receive a touch of Christmas magic and a reminder that the world hasn’t forgotten them.

🍫 We brought along ~25 kg of sweets and rolled up our sleeves to help pack presents on-site. Every box we taped up is a small signal of hope and normalcy for a child facing a very different reality this winter.

Contributing to this mission is an important tradition for us every year. Thank you to the .foundation for the tireless work you do. We are proud to be your partners. 🤝💙💛

🇪🇺 Exactly one month ago, the European Forum for New Ideas (EFNI) in Sopot came to an end – three days filled with intense dialogue, bold ideas, and inspiring debates! This was our fourth time attending the Forum, and once again we had the opportunity to advocate for Ukraine and raise awareness about the ongoing war, both on stage and behind the scenes. Our presence allowed us to engage with speakers, policy-makers, and business leaders, ensuring that Ukraine’s voice remained visible, heard, and taken into account across discussions.

🇺🇦 For us, this edition of EFNI was particularly meaningful because we were able to co-shape the Ukrainian perspective during the Forum, not just through participation, but through real, active contribution. This year, we helped shape and promote Ukrainian topics, including:

👉 Screening of “In the Rearview” (pl. “Skąd dokąd”)
The film by Maciek Hamela that follows a volunteer evacuation van transporting Ukrainian civilians from the frontlines to safety. Shot almost entirely inside the vehicle, it offered the guests of the Forum an intimate and deeply human look at the experiences of those fleeing the war.

👉 “Ukraine’s wartime resilience – lessons for Europe” 
Discussion panel where dr Jarosław Bełdowski, Vice President of , spoke about the vital role of Kredobank, a Polish bank, in strengthening Polish-Ukrainian business relations. He emphasized how the bank fosters trust, supports cross-border investment, and helps create economic stability by financing infrastructure and business projects that bring both nations closer. Beyond the financial role, he pointed out that Kredobank acts as a bridge of goodwill, illustrating how economic cooperation can be a form of solidarity and a foundation for long-term rebuilding efforts.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the organizers, EFNI & Konfederacja Lewiatan, for the invitation, excellent organization, and creating a space for meaningful dialogue. Our thanks also go to all partners and speakers for their inspiring contributions. 

We are already looking forward to the next edition and truly hope to be back next year! ✨

🇺🇦 Dziś po raz drugi mieliśmy przyjemność współorganizować w Ukraińskie Radiowe Dyktando Jedności Narodowej 2025 razem z dr Iryną Degtyarovą, pełnomocniczką rektora ds. współpracy z uczelniami ukraińskimi.

Tegoroczna edycja zgromadziła studentów, wykładowców i gości z różnych środowisk, którzy wspólnie celebrowali język, kulturę i tożsamość ukraińską. To fajna tradycja, która pokazuje, że jedność i wspólnota są naszą siłą 💙💛
Widzimy się za rok!

WE DID IT! ⚡️
Yesterday we ran together through Pole Mokotowskie - lighting up the night with unity, warmth, and hope 💛💙

It was an evening full of smiles, support, and shared purpose - a reminder that even in dark times, our light shines brightest when we’re together.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined and supported the Lumina Run — a charity event organised by and , taking place across Europe and Canada to raise funds for anti-drone electronic warfare (EW) systems for the Khartiia Brigade, for those who have never stopped defending us.

During the Warsaw run over 500€ were raised!
We’re proud to have joined this initiative - we truly believe that such projects make a real difference.

We’re not saying goodbye - just see you next time!
Together, we run for light. Together, we run for Ukraine🇺🇦

📢 The Battle for Truth: Disinformation as a Weapon of the XXI Century

In today’s world, truth itself has become a battlefield. From deepfake videos to coordinated propaganda campaigns, disinformation is no longer just a side effect of conflict — it is a central weapon. This panel will explore how Ukraine, on the front lines of both physical and information warfare, is resisting this threat and what the rest of the world can learn from its experience.

💬 We will discuss:

How disinformation is used as a strategic weapon in hybrid warfare to destabilize societies, divide allies, and manipulate public opinion — with Ukraine as a case study of resilience and innovation in countering these threats.

The mechanisms and impact of disinformation in the European Union, Poland, and the United States, including how foreign actors exploit social tensions, influence elections, and erode trust in democratic institutions. What vulnerabilities exist, and how can they be addressed collectively?

The role of journalists, activists, and policymakers in fighting propaganda and preserving truth in public discourse — both within Ukraine and internationally. We will look at how independent media, fact-checkers, and digital platforms play a role in this evolving struggle.

Ukraine’s experience in building information resilience, including lessons learned from combating Russian disinformation, coordinating cybersecurity, and educating the public in media literacy.

Featuring a powerful lineup of speakers:
🔹 Yevheniya Kravchuk – Member of the Ukrainian Parliament and of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), expert in media and cultural policy
🔹 Myroslava Gongadze – Journalist, human rights advocate and public figure
🔹 Natalia Panchenko – Civic activist, leader of Euromaidan-Warszawa, organizer of international awareness and advocacy campaigns
🔹 Nataliya Tkachuk – Head of Information Security and Cybersecurity Service, National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine

Join us to better understand how disinformation threatens democracies — and how truth can still prevail.
