APS Distinguished Student Program - Ukraine

Through the APS Distinguished Student Program - Ukraine, physics graduate students and early career physicists who had been pursuing degrees or research in Ukraine can receive up to $2,000 in travel support to present oral talks or posters at APS meetings, APS-endorsed meetings, or International Union of Pure and Applied Physics-sponsored conferences. To foster connections to research mentors, awards can be expanded up to $5,000 for proposals that include research visits to a laboratory or a scientific collaborator in addition to attending the physics meeting.

APS respects that many physicists affected by the invasion are not able to travel at this time. Consequently, support for virtual participation in meetings is also eligible for support.

Applicants must be early-career researchers (Postdoctoral researchers, PhD, or Master’s students) and have submitted an abstract at a physics meeting. Proposals will be reviewed on criteria including scientific merit and potential impact on the student’s career. This program is made possible by funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
