The KIU Graduate Program is the first structured doctoral program in Germany on Ukrainian studies. The program offers up to 15 early career researchers from various disciplines the unique opportunity to conduct intensive research on aspects of history, culture, state, society and conflict related to Ukraine.

The KIU competence network is a four-year DAAD-funded project to strengthen Ukraine-related research, teaching, networking and transfer activities. The competence network, initiated and led by the European University Viadrina, includes the ZOiS, the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Wissenschaftskolleg Berlin.

The program offers 9 PhD scholarships plus 6 positions for associated doctoral students who bring their own funding but will be part of the KIU Graduate Program. All successful applicants will be offered a co-working space in the KIU premises in Frankfurt (Oder).

The whole duration of the program is 36 months, starting in April 2025. Within these 36 months, KIU scholarship holders will receive a stipend of monthly 1.300€.
