The workshop will focus on the collection and preservation of social research data in Ukraine during the war. We will discuss the challenges and limitations faced by researchers in Ukraine today, ways to overcome these challenges, and the cooperation of researchers with the Czech Social Data Archive and CESSDA. The results of the year-long project will be presented at the seminar, implemented by the Kyiv Archive with the support of CESSDA in cooperation with the Czech Social Data Archive - a list of published data collections on socially important research topics conducted in Ukraine during 1991-2023.
