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.
Higher education and research cooperation with Russia has been freezed since March 4th 2002, according to the recommendation by Ministry of Education and Culture. Ongoing RDI projects can continue without partners from Russia or Belarus.
