The Ukraine-Australia Research Fund

The Australian Academy of Science has partnered with the Breakthrough Prize Foundation to deliver a program to support Ukrainian researchers in eligible fields of science who have been impacted by the war with Russia.

The donation is being used to establish two different activities, each designed to offer practical support to enable the continuation of research and technology activities by Ukrainian scientists.

Activity 1 will support Ukrainian researchers to participate in short-term visits to Australia to engage in project research at a host institution, or to participate in a conference and site visit program.

The Australian host organisation is responsible for applying for the funding and administering the grant to cover the direct costs to support the visit.

Applications for Activity 1 close 7 June 2023. Applications for the second activity have closed.
