Science & Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU), together with the V.G. Baryakhtar Institute of Magnetism of the NAS of Ukraine, on behalf of the IEEE Magnetics Society, announced a call for proposals for a new IEEE program “Magnetism for Ukraine 2024/25”. This competitive program offers individual grants of $2,000 and group grants of $10,000 for the period of one year. The aim of the program is to support the research and professional development of scientists, engineers and students working in the field of magnetics, with a focus on excellence, innovation and community growth. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific excellence as well as the usual principles of diversity and inclusion.
Eligibility. The call for proposals is open to researchers who:
- Are pursuing or have completed their PhD
- Hold a permanent position (either full-time or part-time) at a Ukrainian research institute or university
- Reside in Ukraine for at least 50% of the time during the project implementation; for the group projects, all members of the team reside in Ukraine for at least 50% of the time during the project implementation;
- An applicant may participate not more than in one individual and/or one group project; if both individual and group proposals are submitted, priority will be given to the group proposal. The individual proposal will not be considered if the group one is recommended for funding.
- The proposed investigations are thematically in the field of magnetism, spintronics or related fields;
Winners of the both previous programs in 2022 and 2023 are not eligible to apply for the 2024/25 program. Winners of only one previous program are eligible to apply. Individuals who have received funding twice, regardless of whether through individual or group applications, are ineligible for a third grant.
The IEEE Magnetics Society supports its members only. If the applicant is not already a member of the IEEE Magnetics Society, membership should be acquired during the first month of the project.
For group proposals, all team members are recommended to become members of the Magnetics Society.
The deadline for the call for applications is 8th of February 2025 at 12:00, CET time.
Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
