Description
The Science-Policy Integration Program aims to bridge the gap between Ukrainian researchers and the policymaking sphere, particularly during Ukraine’s recovery and development phases. The program offers a hybrid course combining online and in-person modules to equip researchers with practical skills for engaging with public policy, translating research for decision-makers, and building networks with science-policy professionals. After the training, select participants may be invited to a 6–12 month paid fellowship, working directly with Ukrainian policymakers to address real policy challenges.
