The competition for scientific project concepts "Revival and Innovative Development of Ukraine" is currently underway, organized by the Ukraine Reconstruction Fund and the Council of Young Scientists at the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
The purpose of the competition is to promote developments by Ukrainian students, graduate students, and young scientists among the business and scientific community in the United States. It aims to seek and encourage potential investors for project implementation, stimulate innovative activities, and propose solutions directed towards the recovery and sustainable development of Ukraine.
Co-organizers expect participants to submit project concepts focused on the recovery and development of the economy, agro-industrial sectors, green energy, and environmental improvement, particularly in regions of Ukraine affected by the war.
Students studying in full-time or part-time programs at higher education institutions and research institutions in Ukraine, as well as graduate students and young researchers, are eligible to participate in the competition.
In addition to scholarships, the Fund will provide legal and organizational support to winners and finalists for obtaining grant support from the U.S. government and registering patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
