EU allocates €4.5 million for 324 Ukrainian scientists' projects to pursue their research
On 2 May 2024, the European Commission announced that the initial budget of the EURIZON Fellowship Programme has been raised to €4.5 million in order to provide continuous support to Ukrainian researchers. In April 2023, the EU-funded EURIZON project launched their Fellowship Programme ‘Remote Research Grants for Researchers from Ukraine'. The goal was to offer short-term fellowships lasting 6 or 12 months to vulnerable researchers. To meet the high demand, the Commission decided to triple the initial allocated budget to €4.5 million, now funding 65 projects, including 324 researchers.
The EURIZON Fellowship Programme is expected to have significant positive impacts on the work of Ukrainian researchers, including the opportunity to restart their projects, conduct cutting-edge research, establish stable contact with international partners, and broaden research dissemination. The Fellowship Programme will also allow them to reduce stress, help solve family difficulties, access foreign university libraries, retain IT specialists, and identify trends and best practices in public management.
