Academic travel grants for Ukrainian researchers

Science should not be stopped by war

Even after more than 4 years of war, Ukrainian researchers continue their scientific work despite extraordinary challenges. Their remarkable resilience and dedication demonstrate that science knows no borders.

However, the war has severely disrupted opportunities for international academic mobility, making it increasingly difficult for researchers to participate in conferences, share their findings, and build international collaborations.

Why is it important?

The ongoing war has left many Ukrainian researchers isolated from international academic interaction, limiting their opportunities to exchange knowledge and establish scientific collaborations. Participation in international events is therefore essential not only for advancing research but also for maintaining connections, visibility, and active engagement with the global academic community.

All donations raised through this crowdfunding project will be directed exclusively to the Micro Travel Grant programme, run by Science for Ukraine. This programme offers financial support to Ukrainian scientists attending international conferences and events.

It provides up to 500 euros to cover: travel, accommodation, and participation fees for researchers affiliated with Ukrainian universities. Academic travel grants help them to overcome these barriers, enabling to continue their academic careers and remain connected to international networks.

What have we achieved so far?

Micro Travel Grant Programme has already supported 19 Ukrainian researchers in participating in international events.

We are strongly committed to continuing this meaningful initiative. Your contribution will help us continue supporting Ukrainian researchers through the Micro Travel Grant Programme in 2027.

This campaign is organised by NGO Science for Ukraine(Sanita Reinsone) and BETA Technological Centre (Sergio Ponsá, Albert Palou, Galyna Ryabukha, and Iryna Kohut)
