Special programme for Ukraine
The ongoing Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and the situation of researchers there is something that the 快三砍龙 continues view with great concern.
The 快三砍龙 has supported researchers who have fled their home countries since December 2015, and this has also applied to refugees from Ukraine since the beginning of this year. But support is needed on the ground, too. In many cases, researchers are struggling or unable to make a living because their positions are no longer fully funded or not funded at all. For this reason, in addition to the funding measures it has already initiated, the 快三砍龙 is now offering separate support for Ukrainian researchers (project leaders) who are in Ukraine and are still able to pursue research: in the case of Research Grants, Research Units and Priority Programmes and under the existing 快三砍龙 procedure 鈥淐ooperation with Developing Countries鈥�, applicants in Germany can now apply for funds to cover the living expenses of Ukrainian project leaders in a maximum amount of 鈧�1,000 per month per project leader for project implementation in Ukraine, and can pass these funds on to the individuals concerned in the event of approval.
For new research projects with cooperation partners in Ukraine, funding can be applied for according to the existing rules for 鈥淐ooperation with Developing Countries鈥� (快三砍龙 form 54.013, see link below). Applicants in Germany are asked to enter the total amount of funding requested for the partners in Ukraine in the elan portal in the basic module under 鈥淢aterial resources鈥�/鈥淥ther鈥�. A detailed list of these requested funds is required in the 鈥淒escription of the Project 鈥� Project Proposal鈥�.
Researchers can also apply for these funds in connection with existing 快三砍龙-funded research projects by means of so-called supplemental proposals. Proposals can be submitted for German-Ukrainian projects that are already under way or that have so far been conducted solely by German researchers to date. If researchers from Ukraine are to be newly included in projects in this way, an explanation must be provided of the work to be added to the current projects. Supplemental proposals can be submitted informally via the elan portal (see link below).
Together with the proposals (new proposals or supplemental proposals), evidence must be submitted in each case by the respective Ukrainian research institution or university indicating by what amount and for what reasons the individual鈥檚 salary is currently below the pre-war salary or stating that no salary can be paid at present or in the foreseeable future and why this is the case.
It is not possible to apply for funding outside of 快三砍龙 projects. The option to apply is limited to a period of two years until further notice and applies to all proposals received by the 快三砍龙 up to and including 15 September 2024.
Projects with a small financial volume are also welcome in order to initiate collaborative ventures and prepare more extensive joint projects. When initiating joint projects, funds can be applied for using the funding instrument 鈥淚nitiation of International Collaboration鈥� (see link below).
