This presentation examines the transformation of Ukrainian universities under conditions of full-scale war, focusing on the case of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University — an institution physically displaced following the occupation of Berdyansk in February 2022. The talk introduces the concept of the post-territorial university, distinguishing between the material body of the institution (infrastructure, buildings, equipment) and its lived body (shared practices, trust, academic continuity). While war eliminated physical campuses, it did not dissolve institutional identity or relational infrastructure. The core proposition is clear: a university is not defined by territory but by coordinated human capacity. The “University Without Walls” is not a metaphor, but an institutional condition emerging in contexts of displacement, uncertainty, and prolonged crisis.Event:University Without Walls: Wellbeing Lessons from Ukrainian War ZonesAustralia, 2026Event page: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/university-without-walls-wellbeing-lessons-from-ukrainian-war-zones-tickets-1981077754894
