INTER-PRO-UMCS

Programme description

The programme is aimed at supporting scientists from Ukraine representing social sciences and humanities in the implementation of joint scientific projects together with scientists from Poland that will deepen the knowledge on issues connected with the development of civil society, democracy, European integration and security. The projects must concern matters important to both countries.

The programme is addressed, on the one hand, to scholars holding at least a doctoral degree (or its equivalent), who on February 24, 2022, i.e. the day of the Russian invasion against Ukraine, were employed at scientific and research institutions in the country (including the temporarily occupied territories), and on the other hand – to scholars employed at similar institutions in Poland.

The FOR UKRAINE programme is the second competition for Polish-Ukrainian research projects in the social sciences and humanities organized by the FNP in 2022. The funding covers both salaries and research-related expenses.

The applicants must be Polish-Ukrainian pairs of scholars with each person representing each country’s scientific or research institution. The application should be submitted on their joint behalf by the person employed in Poland and the hosting unit (i.e. the Polish scientific institution with which the project will be affiliated). In this edition of the competition, an international group of experts appointed by the FNP will select three projects for financing.

The application should include:

• the applicants’, their home institutions’ and the hosting institution’s data
• both applicants’ CVs (up to two A4 pages each)
• a list of up to three major publications of each applicant, with electronic versions of their full or partial contents in the original languages
• a description of the planned scientific research, indicating its relevance to the FNP programme’s theme and the objective(s) to be achieved through the project (up to four A4 pages)
• information on the division of tasks to be implemented by the applicants with the specification of planned project results (e.g. publication, screenplay, exhibition, lecture, workshop, training, website, application, etc.; up to two A4 pages)
• information on the planned dissemination activities of the project results (up to one A4 page)
• information on the hosting institution’s contribution to the project funding (if applicable).
• Three statements signed by the scientist from Ukraine, the scientist from Poland and the hosting institution representative

Applications should be submitted in English in electronic form via the online database. For more information about the application submission, see the Instruction (in Files to download). The laureates of the programme will be selected by an international panel of experts appointed by the FNP.
