NWO Hop-On Call for Proposals for Researchers Based in Ukraine 2025

Dutch and Ukrainian researchers will once again have the opportunity to collaborate with the ‘NWO Hop-On Call for Researchers Based in Ukraine’. NWO and the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (NRFU) will open a second funding round within their collaborative initiative in January 2026. With an increased budget of €480,000 this offers new opportunities for knowledge exchange and network strengthening.

Applications can be submitted to NWO by the main applicant (principal investigator) of ongoing NWO scientific projects. In the application, the beneficiary’s Ukraine-based research partner must always act as co-applicant.

Ukrainian higher education institutions or research institutions may receive only two grants per institution in this Call for proposals.

In this Call for proposals, an ongoing NWO project is specified as follows:

  • a project from any Call for Proposals published by NWO in the Dutch government gazette, in which a positive granting decision was taken;
  • a research project that has started and is ongoing, and as such complies with the granting conditions as stated in the granting decision.

Proposals can be submitted continuously from 20 January 2026 until the deadline on 23 June 2026 at 14:00:00 CEST, or until the budget has been exhausted. Applications are to be awarded on a “first come – first served” basis.
