Special Visitor Programme for Scientists working in Ukraine

Due to the war in Ukraine and its consequences for the scientific community, our colleagues, and their families, ESO is announcing a Special Visitor Programme for Scientists working in Ukraine.

With this programme, ESO aims to offer a dedicated mobility grant to support scientific visits from scientists working in Ukraine to one of the ESO premises (Garching or Vitacura) and encourages collaboration between ESO personnel and scientists working in Ukraine.

ESO encourages our colleagues based in Ukraine to submit requests to visit ESO and work together with colleagues at ESO on joint projects.

More information about potential collaborators can be found in the ESO Garching and Chile dedicated pages and on the ESO science pages.   

The special programme foresees support for our research colleagues from Ukraine, as well as for their families, with travel covered and accommodation provided for the full duration of the visit.

Applications can be sent at any time using the form below. The request will be processed immediately.
