WEBCAST | The Global Phenomenon of Post-Soviet Science
Event Sponsor
Overview
At its height in the late 1980s, the Soviet science system was the largest national infrastructure of science and technology in the world. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991, the science systems of Russia and the other post-Soviet successor states underwent a tremendous contraction and a widely recognized crisis. Michael Gordin will discuss the emergence of post-Soviet science within transformations in the global scientific system in the context of brain drain, the transformations of academies of sciences, and international financial support of post-Soviet science.
