Deadline: 19 August 2024
The Institute for Human Sciences has announced applications for the Documenting Ukraine Grants to enable Ukrainian intellectuals and creative professionals to work on documentation projects that establish and preserve a factual record—whether through reporting, gathering published source material, collecting oral testimony, or other means—or bring meaning to events through artistic interpretation and intellectual reflection.
The Documenting Ukraine program is glad to start the application cycle. Ukrainian academics, creative professionals and public intellectuals are welcome to apply for grants for projects documenting the experience of the full-scale Russo-Ukrainian war or providing intellectual or artistic reflections on these events.
Since March 2022, Documenting Ukraine has supported more than 300 projects by Ukrainian filmmakers, scholars, journalists, archivists and librarians, writers and poets, artists and photographers. With the goal of creating a transdisciplinary archive in mind, the program is focused on centering Ukrainian intellectual work and sharing the Ukrainian experience of the war with the broader world.
Funding Information
- The project involves one-time grants of 5000 EUR to Ukrainian intellectuals and creative professionals working on factual records and/or artistic reflections of the full-scale invasion, as well as creation of a transdisciplinary archive for said materials.
Eligibility Criteria
- They welcome applications from academics from any discipline, public intellectuals, writers, publishers, artists (including but not limited to documentary filmmakers and photographers), archivists and preservationists, media professionals and journalists.
- People who have previously received support from Documenting Ukraine are also welcome to apply for this application cycle.
- They are not equipped to work with projects that deal with legal aspects of war crimes, materials which are legally intended for use in international and national courts. Moreover, due to ethical concerns they largely abstain from projects which involve minors.
- The priority is to support people currently residing in Ukraine; at the same time, they do recognize the importance and relevance of projects from outside Ukraine and their authors are also welcomed to submit their applications.
Language
- Documenting Ukraine is a multilingual project. Although application submissions in English are preferred, they also accept applications written in Ukrainian. Results of the grant do not need to be translated into English – Ukrainian is perfectly fine.
