The project aims to support early career researchers carrying out PhD or post-doc studies within the area of Business and Human Rights, to increase their research competences and skills and to further integrate them in European and global academic dialogues.
Despite a strong trend in the EU, Ukraine, and other countries in the EU Eastern Partnership region are still lagging in the growing movement to take up the Business and Human Rights framework as minimum standards for a proper corporate environment.
Through its activities, the project will build networks between academia, businesses, and civil society organisations in Ukraine. Early career researchers will be supported through a mentorship programme.
