Description
This Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action (RIA) aims to accelerate Ukraine's integration into the European Research Area (ERA) by leveraging and strengthening collaborative frameworks between Ukrainian and European research infrastructures. The grant supports the design and early implementation of plans for reconstructing and upgrading Ukrainian research infrastructures, enables remote access for Ukrainian researchers to European facilities, and funds remote fellowships for Ukrainian scientists to work with European partners on scientific instrumentation and advanced methods. Additional objectives include fostering joint research, developing shared scientific methodologies, and establishing systems for monitoring integration progress and aligning investment opportunities for infrastructure development.
