A call for applications under the recently announced MSCA4Ukraine scheme, funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and aiming to support displaced researchers from Ukraine, is coming up in September.

About MSCA4Ukraine

MSCA4Ukraine will enable researchers from Ukraine to continue their work at academic and non-academic organisations in EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries, while maintaining their connections to research and innovation communities in Ukraine.

The scheme may also

  • facilitate researchers’ reintegration in Ukraine if conditions for safe return are met, in order to prevent permanent brain drain
  • contribute to strengthening the Ukrainian university and research sector and its collaboration and exchange with the international research community
