A meeting of the Ukraine-EU/Euratom Committee on Research and Innovation, organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, was held at KPI.
During the event, the participants discussed the results and prospects of Ukrainian scientists' participation in the Horizon Europe Program, as well as outlined new opportunities provided by cooperation with the EU scientific community.
“There are actually a lot of opportunities: attracting high funding for projects, equipment, and necessary materials; collaboration with leading scientists from Europe and the world; cooperation with large consortia and businesses,” Denys Kurbatov, Deputy Minister of Education and Science for Science and Innovation.
KPI is among those universities that are currently demonstrating successful experience in integrating their scientists into EU research and innovation framework programs. After all, our university leads the top three organizations in terms of the largest amounts of funding from Horizon Europe.
“Kyiv Polytechnic already has quite good teams that know how to prepare project proposals, have enough communication with European partners to prepare projects, know how to exchange scientific data, and understand the rules of the European Union for the formation of project proposals,” said Hryhorii Mozolevych, Director General of the Directorate for Science Development of the Ministry of Education and Science.
“Now, on the basis of our university, there are two National Contact Points in the following areas: “Climate, Energy and Mobility” and ‘Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area’. Here, researchers will be helped to properly apply for grants, receive funding, support and collaboration with leading European scientists to implement joint large-scale research projects!
