Project description
A boost for Ukrainian scientists in Euratom research
The aim of the EU-funded UAinEuratom project is to forge a deeper integration and participation of Ukrainian researchers and research entities in Euratom research activities. The overall goal is to ensure their participation in Euratom projects, thereby enabling more broad and effective cooperation in the field of research on fission and fusion. It is also important to maximise the potential of Ukrainian research entities regarding their infrastructures, capacities and research programmes. The better integration of Ukrainian nuclear research entities into European nuclear research networks has been a goal since the Association Agreement between Ukraine and Euratom was signed in 2016.
Objective
The Association Agreement between Ukraine and Euratom was signed on 27 June 2016 and entered into force on 28 October 2016. Better integration of Ukrainian nuclear research entities into European nuclear research networks could be seen as mutually beneficial for the whole Euratom research community.
“UA NCP for deeper integration of Ukrainian researchers to Euratom” project (Acronym: UAinEuratom) is initiated in order to provide deeper integration and improved participation of Ukrainian researchers and research entities in Euratom research activities with future aim to increase their participation in Euratom projects, thereby enabling a more broad and effective cooperation in the field of research on fission and fusion, and fully exploiting the potential of Ukrainian research entities regarding their infrastructures, capacities and research programmes.
NSC KIPT was officially appointed by the Ukrainian authorities as National Contact Point to Euratom in 2017. UAinEuratom is an 18 months project that is initiated as support and coordination action for the NCP to Euratom in Ukraine (UA Euratom NCP) to integrate Ukrainian researchers and research centers to Euratom.
UAinEuratom project specific objectives
UAinEuratom project has the following specific objectives:
• Strengthening of UA scientists participation to Euratom programmes;
• Enhancing of Ukrainian - EU networking activities in Euratom research area;
• Raising of Euratom programme awareness among representatives of Ukrainian research centers, SMEs, authorities and strengthening the link between Euratom and Ukrainian science communities;
There are four work packages that include all project activities to achieve the objectives. All work packages will be managed and implemented by KIPT (Ukraine).
