6. Under the new Erasmus+ programme,
the EU will offer Ukrainians more opportunities
to benefit from grants for student mobility,
academic cooperation, and youth exchanges.
• Over 4,000 young Ukrainians are expected to benefit from
university exchanges under Erasmus+ , and staff will also
receive grants for training and teaching opportunities
abroad.
Ukrainian students and universities will be eligible for
scholarships to follow full joint Master's degrees offered by
consortia of European universities.

7. More than 7,000 Ukrainians will also receive EU support to
participate in youth exchanges, in the European Voluntary
Service or through funding for the mobility of youth
workers.
The new scholarship program is built on the basis of the ideas
similar to Erasmus and Erasmus+ programs, which allow
students to complete part of the studies in one of the
European Union countries.

Polish Erasmus for Ukraine
The program is directed primarily to young people in areas
currently experiencing military activities within the Lugansk
and Donetsk regions and from the Crimea.
includes above all the following fields of studies:
management, European studies, economics,
administration.

9. 9
The cost of the program is over 10.7 mln PLN.
Financing by the Polish government will cover Bachelor,
Master’s and PhD courses at Polish Universities, as well as
the living expenses during the stay in Poland.
These scholarships are directed to all residents of Ukraine,
however preference will be given to applicants from the
areas affected by military activities who have lost their
ability to support themselves.

10. One hundred scholarships for Ukrainians who live in the
areas of military activities are still available this year, and a
further four hundred will be available for Ukrainian students
in 2015 – this is what is proposed as aid by the Polish
government for students from Ukraine.
Starting from winter semester the first hundred Ukrainian
students (who have completed the second year of their
Bachelor degree – Bakalaureat) will commence their free-of-
charge studies in Poland.
They will also receive 900 PLN scholarship for living
expenses.

11. From January 2015 the next stage of the program will
commence with 400 students (who have completed their
second or fourth year of their Bachelor degree) being able
to continue their Bachelor and Master’s studies in Poland.
The scholarships are also directed towards PhD students
from Ukraine. Fifty people authorized to undertake post-
graduate studies are first of all students of universities
cooperating with Polish partners.

Currently students from Ukraine form the largest group of
foreign student in Poland: 42 per cent. In the academic year
of 2013/2014 fifteen thousand Ukrainian students studied
in our country, four thousand of whom already receive
various forms of financing (exemption from tuition fees,
scholarships).
Useful information for Ukrainian students in Poland is
available on a special website prepared by the Ministry of
Science and Higher Education: www.go-poland.pl. It is also
available in Ukrainian: www.go-poland.pl/uk.

13. Master’s degree Ukrainian student
My name is Oleksii, and I'm from Ukraine. I came to
Poland for master degree studies and fortunately passed
to Poznan University of Technology. Being a
telecommunication’s engineer I've chosen ICT
(Information and Communication Technologies) group,
where all courses are conducted in English. Now I am
finishing the studies and preparing for diploma exam. I
can definietly recommend Poznan University of
Technology for everybody who wants to get quality
technical education. There are all modern facilities for
studying, supplied with the strong and qualified support
of the staff. I think for a foreigner PUT is a perfect place to
study, get new experience and develop professional skills.

Fedorenko-магістрант
Мене звуть Олексій, і я з України. Я приїхав до
Польщі щоб отримати ступінь магістра, і на
щастя поступив в Політехніку Познаньську.
Будучи інженерем звя'зку я вибрав групу ICT,
де всі предмети викладаються англійською
мовою. Зараз я закінчую навчання та готуюсь
до захисту диплому. Я дійсно можу порадити
Політехніку Познаньську всім кто хоче
отримати якісну технічну освіту. В
університеті є сучасна техніка та надається
сильна та кваліфікована підтримка зі сторони
персоналу. Я вважаю, для іноземних студентів
це ідеальне місце для навчання, здобуття
нового досвіду та професійних навичок.

15. Research and innovation are increasingly interlinked
internationally, in a landscape that has been changing
rapidly. Alongside industrialised countries, emerging
economies have been strengthening their research and
innovation systems. The new International
Cooperation strategy focuses on research and innovation,
in areas of common interest and mutual benefit.

16. Horizon 2020
the EU Framework programme
for Research and Innovation

17. The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science,
removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public
and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation.
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and
Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of
funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020).
By coupling research and innovation, Horizon 2020
is helping to achieve this with its emphasis on excellent
science, industrial leadership and tackling societal challenges.

18. As a core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European
Research Area, Horizon 2020 aims at:
• Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs
and growth;
• Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods,
safety and environment;
• Strengthening the EU’s global position in research,
innovation and technology.
18

19. Mainly, Horizon 2020 is composed out of three main
pillars:
• PRIORITY1 EXCELLENT SCIENCE
• PRIORITY2 INDUSTRIALLEADERSHIP
• PRIORITY3 SOCIETAL CHALLENGES
