Korkeakoulu- ja tiedeyhteistyö venäläisten ja valkovenäläisten kumppaniorganisaatioiden kanssa on jäädytetty 4.3.2022 alkaen opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriön suosituksen mukaisesti. Meneillään olevia tutkimus- ja kehittämishankkeita jatketaan ilman venäläisiä ja valkovenäläisiä kumppaneita, ja toimintaa suunnataan tarvittaessa uudelleen.
