The aim of this call is to encourage online participation of qualified researchers in Ukraine from all scientific disciplines in ongoing NWO projects and to expand their professional network in the Dutch research community.
Project leaders of an ongoing (or soon-to-be-started) NWO research project will have a temporary opportunity to have part of the project carried out at a knowledge institution in Ukraine by a researcher there. Project leaders can apply for funding to pay for an appointment of one researcher in Ukraine for 6 to 24 months plus material budget. A total of €250,000 is available for this scheme and a limit of a maximum of one grant per Ukrainian knowledge institution. Per project, a project leader can apply for a maximum of €25,000.
