Since the outbreak of war in February 2022, Science Europe and its members have taken actions to support the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (NRFU) and the Ukrainian research ecosystem. As part of these efforts, NRFU and Science Europe are organising a series of three online workshops between September 2025 and February 2026 to tackle core topics that are priority areas for the Ukrainian research ecosystem.
About the Webinars
The overall objective of the webinar series is to support the capacity-building efforts of the Ukrainian research ecosystem.
The online workshops will address three priority areas identified by the National Research Foundation of Ukraine:
- Ensuring a good balance between bottom-up calls, mainly for basic research projects, and top-down calls for applied research projects.
- Developing and implementing effective monitoring tools within the project life-cycle and beyond with an emphasis on the (potential) impact of the project.
- Practices and policies that integrate Open Science principles into both evaluation procedures and project implementation.
Webinars Schedule
- 19 September 2025 – Balancing bottom-up and top-down research funding
- 25 November 2025 – Developing and implementing monitoring tools for R&D projects
- 20 February 2026 – Open Science policies and practices of research funding organisations
Registration & details
All three webinars are scheduled to take place from 10.00–11.30 CET (11.00–12.30 EET).
Registration for the first webinar will open shortly.
