„Freedom starts with your mind” – Grant program for scientists from Ukraine
The Kosciuszko Foundation announced the second round of recruitment for the "Freedom starts with you in mind" grant program for scientists - citizens of Ukraine who, as a result of the invasion of Russia, found themselves in Poland and are unable to continue their scientific work in Ukraine.
The program aims to support people who are unable to return to their home country and continue their academic work. The grants will allow scientists to continue their work by implementing a research project in Poland.
The program is addressed to scientists from Ukraine who have Ukrainian citizenship and hold at least a doctoral degree (PhD). The condition for receiving the grant is to be an employee or research associate of a Ukrainian university or other research unit and to submit the required documents. The research project described in the grant application should be carried out in cooperation with a Polish university or research institution.
Until 6 December at 18.00 Polish time, they will accept applications via the electronic form.
A one-time grant in the amount of PLN 10,000 is awarded due to the application form, which includes:
- attached CV of the candidate,
- description of the candidate's scientific activity,
- description of the research project to be implemented in Poland,
- a scan of a letter or e-mail from a research supervisor or associate from a Polish university or research institution confirming the readiness to cooperate in the implementation of the project.
