"Linking Ukraine to the European Research Area" (LUKE) is a multilateral project aimed at strengthening the Ukrainian research and innovation system. It brings together 26 funding and research organisations from Europe and Ukraine, which are jointly developing and implementing a transnational call for R&I projects with Ukrainian participation. The thematic priorities are developed on the basis of Delphi surveys, citizen visioning workshops and strategic foresight. At the same time, the "Knowledge Hub" is creating a platform for targeted competence building, for example in the divisions of research management, technology transfer, innovation policy and science communication.
In addition, LUKE contributes to the strategic design of EU-Ukraine cooperation in the field of research and innovation. The project will conclude with a high-level conference to discuss future scenarios for the Ukrainian R&I system in the European context.
