UA NCP FOR DEEPER INTEGRATION OF UKRAINIAN RESEARCHERS TO EURATOM

SHORT DESCRIPTION

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.

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

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.
