The Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) has announced a call for applications to support long-term research stays for scientists from Ukraine in its research units.
The programme aims to enable Ukrainian researchers to continue their scientific work disrupted by the war caused by russia’s aggression and to strengthen international research cooperation between Polish institutions and Ukrainian scholars.
Within the programme, invited Ukrainian researchers will be able to conduct research in PAN institutes for 3 to 12 months. Research stays can take place between 1 May 2026 and 30 April 2027.
The programme is open to researchers at any stage of their career and from all scientific disciplines. Applications for funding are submitted directly by the units of the Polish Academy of Sciences that invite a Ukrainian researcher for collaboration.
Submitted applications will undergo expert evaluation based on the following criteria:
- scientific value of the proposed research,
- research achievements of the invited researcher and the scientific supervisor at the host institution,
- alignment of the expected results with the objectives of the programme,
- feasibility of implementing the proposed research plan.
Application deadline: 31 March 2026 (15:00)
