Since the outset of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the European Commission has shown its solidarity with the country and its research and innovation community.
The need for prompt action after the start of the invasion led to the creation of the MSCA4Ukraine fellowship scheme, supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), the European Union’s reference programme for doctoral education, postdoctoral training and collaborative research. The scheme is part of the wider EU’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Thanks to MSCA4Ukraine, 125 doctoral and postdoctoral fellows who were forced to flee Ukraine can continue their valuable work across 21 European countries in various domains of research and innovation with advantageous conditions and access to training, skills and career development opportunities.
They are helping safeguard Ukraine’s research and innovation system, and freedom of scientific research at large.
From investigating international crimes to developing a strategic framework for Ukrainian IT specialists, MSCA4Ukraine fellows work tirelessly to make a valuable contribution to their community in Ukraine.
