With a recent top up of €10 million from the European Commission, the MSCA4Ukraine scheme will be able to support additional researchers displaced from Ukraine. This webinar officially relaunched MSCA4Ukraine and provided information to participants on how to apply to the 2024 call for proposals.

The EU-funded MSCA4Ukraine scheme currently offers dedicated fellowships and support to 125 researchers from Ukraine, enabling them 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. Funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), the initiative is led by Scholars at Risk Europe and implemented jointly with the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the European University Association.

During the webinar, MSCA4Ukraine was officially relaunched by Normunds Popens, Deputy Director General, Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, European Commission, and Igor Taranov, Head of Department, Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine.

The launch was followed by a dedicated information session for potential applicant organisations and researchers from Ukraine. The consortium partners and speakers from the European Commission and European Research Executive Agency provided practical information on eligibility, application and evaluation processes. Participants were encouraged to engage actively and ask questions throughout the event.

A call for applications will be published in June, alongside all materials required to prepare an application, including information on eligibility criteria. Further information can be found on the MSCA4Ukraine website.
