The aim is of the project is to establish an attractive and supportive environment for developing a new generation of independent researchers pursuing their careers as academics and innovators in post-war Ukraine.
Even before Russia´s full-scale invasion, a large crop of the national talents brought up in Ukrainian Universities have chosen to join the business sector or leave the country instead of pursuing academic careers in Ukraine.
As a result of the project, 20 persons at Ukrainian universities will be retrained on providing courses in research methodology. A whitepaper on improving quality of PhD programmes in Ukraine will be developed. There will also be a pilot implementation of two courses at Ukrainian partner institutions and a framework for modern PhD student supervision will be developed.
