The European Commission has launched the European Research Area for Ukraine (ERA4Ukraine), a single information and support center for Ukrainian researchers forced to leave Ukraine because of Russia’s war.
According to Interfax-Ukraine, citing a statement issued by the European Commission in Brussels on Tuesday, the portal brings together initiatives at the level of the EU, countries and non-governmental groups.
“It aims to help affected researchers find housing and employment opportunities, facilitate the recognition of their diplomas and offer other services”, – the EC said.
The report also states that the ERA4Ukraine portal is launched in the existing EURAXESS network, which supports researchers, bringing together more than 600 centers and 43 national portals in EU Member States and countries associated with Horizon Europe.
“All information will soon be available in English and Ukrainian. Each Member State and associated country has a national portal listing support services in a structured way. Currently, there are 30 portals”, – the press release said.
Commenting on the initiative, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth Maria Gabriel said: “We support Ukrainian scientists and innovators who have faced unprecedented circumstances as a result of the Russian invasion of their country. Ukrainian scientists and researchers have made key contributions to EU research and innovation. While awaiting ratification of Ukraine’s association with Horizon Europe, we have ensured that successful beneficiaries can already receive funding from EU research and innovation programs. Today’s launch of ERA4Ukraine is another important action in support of our Ukrainian colleagues”.
