European Commission to support additional 49 researchers through MSCA4Ukraine

The MSCA4Ukraine fellowship scheme will support additional 49 displaced researchers from Ukraine in the EU and countries associated to Horizon Europe.

Launched in 2022, MSCA4Ukraine is part of the EU’s response to russia’s invasion of Ukraine and action to support displaced researchers from Ukraine and enable them to continue their work in the EU, helping to safeguard Ukraine’s research and innovation system, and the freedom of scientific research at large. Since its launch, the MSCA4Ukraine scheme has supported 174 displaced researchers from Ukraine with a budget of 35 million euros. Initially, 125 researchers received funding, and an additional 49 will now benefit from the scheme.

The initiative, run in the context of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), is implemented by an experienced consortium supporting researchers at risk, led by Scholars at Risk Europe (hosted at Maynooth University, Ireland) together with the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany, and the European University Association.
