The Polish Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences of the United States have jointly selected 18 Ukrainian research teams from various scientific disciplines to receive financial support of up to approximately USD 200,000 per year for a period of up to three years.

The aim of the funding is to provide outstanding Ukrainian scientists with stable conditions for conducting research that will help rebuild science in Ukraine in the future. Out of 174 applications, 18 projects from various scientific disciplines were chosen, including astronomy, environmental sciences, mathematics, psychology, materials science and engineering, agriculture, biomedical sciences, physics, and chemistry. The announcement of the competition results took place on June 29th at the Staszic Palace in Warsaw. Among the winners is Dr. Volodymyr Cherkas, who is carrying out a project titled “Nanoscale Hippocalcin Signaling in Long-Term Depression in Norm and Primary Dystonia” at our Institute (Laboratory of Molecular Assays and Imaging, IBCH PAS).
