Thousands of students from Ukraine study and receive research training abroad. At the same time, the overall visibility of this talented next generation of scientists remains rather under-appreciated, both abroad and in Ukraine. Many PhD students also work on joint bi-lateral or international collaborative projects, or carry out research on topics related to Ukraine – e.g. its history, language, ecology, etc.

Since 2016, the German-Ukrainian Academic Society announces this call aimed at Ukrainian doctoral candidates conducting their research outside of Ukraine.
In addition, the following candidates are also eligible to apply:

• Ukrainian PhD students carrying out their research outside of Ukraine (incl. exchange PhD students and those who had to flee Ukraine due to Russian war against Ukraine);
• PhD students, regardless of nationality, who are involved in a collaborative (e.g. bi- or multi-lateral, including Ukraine) research project;
  
• PhD students, regardless of nationality, whose topic of research relates to Ukraine.
  

Deadline for application is April 24, 2026.
