European Commission increases funding for Ukrainian researchers within MSCA

In solidarity with Ukraine, the European Commission announced a €10 million top-up for the MSCA4Ukraine initiative, funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, supporting Ukrainian researchers.

The extra budget will enable around 50 more new fellows, including doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers, to continue their work safely in academia, businesses, research centres and public institutions based in the EU and countries associated to Horizon Europe. Selected researchers will continue their research under favorable working conditions.

Supported fellows are encouraged to maintain links with their research and innovation communities and cooperate with their counterparts and alma maters in Ukraine. This will strengthen the cooperation and integration between the scientific communities of the country and the EU.

Moreover, MSCA4Ukraine will allow them to carry out research placements, fieldwork and develop new projects jointly. The next MSCA4Ukraine call will open in May 2024. Interested host organisations and researchers will be able to access the call documents and apply directly via the MSCA4Ukraine website.
