Research in Ukraine - Academic Scholarship

Do you have an idea for a research project? Submit it to the “Research in Ukraine” programme.

“Research in Ukraine” is a four-month scholarship (August–November 2026) worth PLN 12,000, designed to support the implementation of an individual research project.

The programme is open to researchers from Ukraine (Ukrainian citizens), including PhD candidates and scholars at an early stage of their academic careers.

You can submit a project related to Polish-Ukrainian relations, the history of the region, as well as selected political, cultural, and legal issues. The thematic scope includes, among others, political thought and historiography, the heritage of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Polish-Ukrainian relations in the 20th century, cultural cooperation after 1991, and the development of international law.

The selection process consists of two stages: a formal assessment followed by a substantive evaluation conducted by an Expert Committee.

The application should include a research project proposal, academic track record, as well as the required recommendations and publications.

Applications must be submitted online via the application generator, in Polish or Ukrainian.

The application deadline is 13 May 2026. Find out more at FAQ.

We support Ukrainian scholars – even during wartime

In the face of Russian aggression, continuing academic work in Ukraine is not only an act of determination, but also a crucial factor in maintaining the continuity of scientific research in the region. Support for Ukrainian researchers has never been more important – it enables the development of science under extreme conditions, helps prevent the interruption of research projects, and strengthens international academic cooperation. It is also a meaningful gesture of solidarity with Ukraine’s academic community.

The “Research in Ukraine” Scholarship Programme

The Mieroszewski Centre runs the “Research in Ukraine” Scholarship Programme, aimed at Ukrainian citizens who, despite the ongoing war, continue their research work within the country. The programme supports academic projects in the fields of history, culture, social sciences, and broadly understood humanities, with a particular focus on Polish-Ukrainian relations and the challenges faced by the Eastern European region.

To apply, candidates must submit a detailed research plan, letters of recommendation, and documented academic achievements. Applications are evaluated based on scholarly merit and research potential.

Why is it worth applying?

The programme’s goal is not only to support individual researchers, but also to strengthen the position of Ukrainian academic institutions within the international research community. Through this scholarship, Ukrainian scholars can carry out projects that deepen our understanding of Eastern Europe, analyze the consequences of war, and bring fresh perspectives to the global academic discourse.
