EU Initiatives for Ukrainian researchers and students

Published on | 3 years ago

Programmes ERC COST Horizon Europe
  • Although Ukraine’s Association Agreement to Horizon Europe and Euratom R&T Programmes is not yet in force,  Ukraine is eligible to EU funding under Horizon Europe as it has been included in the list of low-to-middle income countries in the Programme Guide to Horizon Europe.

  • The Commission is as flexible as possible with ongoing Horizon projects involving Ukrainian participants, in terms of reporting and deadlines for projects’ finalisation.

  • On 22 March, a dedicated portal ERA4Ukraine was launched to serve as a one-stop-shop for information on support to researchers of Ukraine made available at the level of EU, EU Member States and the Associated Countries, including bottom-up initiatives. It was configured under the existing Euraxess network.

  • Horizon4Ukraine initiative seeks to encourage ongoing Horizon projects to offer/advertise available support to researchers of Ukraine, in relation to job offers/training opportunities/social support etc. – all on voluntary basis.  Please note that there is no additional budget linked to Horizon4Ukraine initiative.

  • The European Research Council (ERC) launched an initiative to publicize job opportunities linked to its ongoing grants - over 500 vacancies are already on offer: ERC for Ukraine | ERC: European Research Council (europa.eu)

  • Ukraine is a full member of COST and its researchers, regardless of their location, can apply for short-term research stays, virtual networking tools and/or join one of the action working groups under the COST Programme.

  • In addition, COST is offering dedicated paid traineeship opportunities for young people with the Bachelor degree or relevant experience and knowledge of English and living in Belgium. More info on https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/768469

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
