The National Centre for Research and Development

After Russia's attack on Ukraine, everything changed for Ukrainian scientists. Without the help of the international community, continuing research would have largely been impossible. The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) began its efforts in 2022, which is one example of such solidarity. The programme, called the “Scheme: Support for Ukrainian researchers” aims to build human capital and foster cooperation with the Ukrainian academic community. It was launched under the EEA and Norway Grants. How effective has it been? We asked its participants.
