Global Minds for Ukraine
Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) is an undergraduate and graduate school of economics and management in Kyiv, Ukraine, founded in 1996 by the Economics Education and Research Consortium (EERC) and the Eurasia Foundation. KSE today is the most ambitious Ukrainian educational project and the most powerful intellectual hub in the country.
After Russia's invasion of Ukraine KSE launched an intellectual diplomacy project #GlobalMinds4Ukraine. It is a series of lectures with world intellectuals to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine. This project helps to tell the truth about the situation in Ukraine, to resist Russian propaganda, to conduct true narratives, to create ways to rebuild the country, to strengthen connections and the image of Ukraine in the academic environment.
Among the speakers who agreed to hold open lectures for KSE: Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Michael A. McFaul, David Howell Petraeus, Nicholas A. Christakis, Susan Stokes, Mark Esposito, Sander van der Linden and others.
