12-01, 15:50–15:55 (Europe/Berlin), Stage 2, Einstein-Saal, BBAW

The InPlatBio platform with the participation of an interdisciplinary team: physicians, public health experts, psychologists, philosophers and various lecturers from Europe and Ukraine. The goal here is not only academic and practical exchange, but also moral support for participants who have to work under extremely difficult (war) conditions.


Nowadays, the global crises are rapidly changing. We have seen the Covid-19 pandemic create uncertainty and suffering around the world as it disrupted communications and impacted all areas of life. Now the inhumane Russian military aggression against Ukraine is triggering a new wave of global problems and having an extremely destructive and negative effect on people's psyches. In this mode, thinking and creativity are kept to a minimum, most of humans’ energy is focused on fulfilling one goal - survival. It is already necessary to build islands, platforms of "peace", of space, devoid of reactivity.
The topic of vulnerability/vulnerable population groups: children, women, people with mental illnesses etc. in the context of crises also runs through this topic like a red thread.
