About us

Ukraine

Ministry of Education and Sciences of Ukraine (MESU) or the Ukrainian Startup Fund (USF)

Ukranian organisations participating in international R&D projects are eligible for funding through our Network projects, Globalstars and Clusters programmes. If you are based in Ukraine and seeking funding for an R&D project, your first point of contact is with the Ministry of Education and Sciences of Ukraine (MESU) or the Ukrainian Startup Fund (USF). MESU and USF support Ukrainian organisations interested in international collaboration giving them access to expertise and supporting their growth.

Funding and support available

Partner search

MESU can help you to find project partners by contacting other national funding bodies in Eureka’s network (consisting of over 45 member countries). For more information on how to find international project partners, contact MESU or consult the Enterprise Europe Network’s (EEN) online database.

Advice services and support tools

MESU and USF offer advice and support from concept to commercialisation for organisations collaborating on international R&D projects. MESU and USF can confirm your organisation’s eligibility, answer questions about the application process and review your proposal before you submit your application.

MESU also supports networking events that complement Eureka’s funding programmes, such as the All Ukrainian Festival of Innovation and the International Innovation Market Forum.

For Globalstars participants: USF supports early-stage Ukrainian startups by funding grants of $25,000 for pre-seed funding and $50,000 seed funding.

Funded programmes and schemes

Please see our resource on what programmes are funded in each country for more information.

We recommend that you get in touch with your national contact to talk about funding options even if a programme is listed as not funded. There might still be funding available.

In the absence of any national funding support, it is still possible to participate in a project by self-funding.
