Excellent and innovative scholars from Ukraine and all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply for VUIAS Fellowships in Ukraine – applications from the natural, life and social sciences and the humanities are equally welcome. The VUIAS Fellowship in Ukraine supports scholars in their pursuit of a self-chosen research project. Scholars at all stages of their career are eligible if they hold a PhD and are not yet retired.
The VUIAS Fellowships in Ukraine are reserved for scholars residing in Ukraine, who have Ukrainian citizenship or a long-term residence permit and are affiliated with an Ukrainian academic institution. During the Academic Year 2025/2026 all VUIAS Fellows will be obliged to engage in interdisciplinary exchange with their cohort through regular participation in the VUIAS colloquium and other events.
