The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) at the University of Alberta offers this grant to support research addressing key principles of sustainable development in Ukraine. The program understands sustainability as long-term economic and environmental stability achieved by integrating economic, environmental, and social concerns into decision-making, rather than treating them separately.
The grant encourages research focused on sustainable economic prosperity, cultural awareness and social justice, and environmental integrity and health in Ukraine. It prioritizes scholars and graduate-level students whose work develops a better understanding of critical scientific and social issues in Ukrainian sustainable development. The goals and principles of UN Resolution A/RES/70/1 provide the reference framework for applicants to explain their research’s relevance.
