Fifth Call in the FOR UKRAINE Programme Is Launched
The Foundation for Polish Science launches the fifth call for applications in the FOR UKRAINE programme. Thanks to this initiative, scientists from Ukraine can establish cooperation with Polish researchers to carry out joint research in the field of humanities and social sciences.
The aim of the FOR UKRAINE programme is to support researchers from Ukraine by enabling them to continue their scientific work in collaboration with Polish researchers and institutions.
The programme offers the opportunity to win a one-year grant of 268,800 PLN for a Polish-Ukrainian research project covering issues related to the development of civil society, democracy, European integration or security. Projects must address topics of significant importance to both countries.
The call for applications in the FOR UKRAINE programme is open to pairs of scientists, one from Poland and one from Ukraine. Applicants must have obtained their doctoral degree no more than 12 years prior to the application.. At the time of application submission, the Ukrainian representative must be employed at a Ukrainian research institution, reside in Ukraine, and carry out the project within the country
The application is submitted on behalf of both researchers by a person working in Poland, together with the research institution in Poland where the project will be carried out (host institution).
Thanks to the funds obtained by the Foundation from donors supporting the FOR UKRAINE programme, in the fifth competition it is possible to apply for funding to cover the salary of an additional person – a PhD student – who will be involved in the implementation of the project.
Applications submitted for the competition are evaluated by an international panel of experts appointed by the Foundation for Polish Science.
Applications are accepted only in English via the electronic application system on the website: www.wnioski.fnp.org.pl.
In the fifth competition, the Foundation plans to fund up to 3 grants. The results are expected to be announced in the fourth quarter of 2025.
