On October 17, 2023, the Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine was launched on the basis of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine. This became possible thanks to the cooperation of the Directorate of the Foundation with the European Commission and the Government of Ukraine.
The activities of the Office will be aimed at maximizing the opportunities for cooperation in research and innovation provided by Ukraine’s membership in the Horizon Europe program. In addition, the staff of the Office will provide information and advisory support to the National Contact Points, researchers and other interested parties to strengthen cooperation in the field of research, innovation and technology.
Currently, organizational activities to ensure the full functioning of the Office are being finalized.
