Today, the European Commission announced a €10 million top-up for the MSCA4Ukraine initiative, funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
Since 2023, the scheme has allowed 125 displaced researchers from Ukraine to train and work in 21 countries. The extra budget will enable around 50 more new fellows, including doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers, to continue their work safely in academia, businesses, research centres and public institutions based in the EU and countries associated to Horizon Europe.
Selected researchers will continue their research under favorable working conditions.
The scheme includes specific support for organisations, allowing them to host researchers for a period between eight months and two years and give them
- training
- skills and career development opportunities
- excellent employment conditions
- supervision
The scheme will provide family allowances to help selected researchers with family responsibilities, and a special needs allowance to support those with disabilities and facilitate their participation
