Creating bridges and collaborations in scientific research across Europe is an important factor to foster research and innovation in the European Research Area.<\/p>\n
Through the\u00a0Uzhhorod National University<\/a>\u00a0(UZHNU), that is the ACCELERATE project partner in Ukraine, we aim to reduce the barriers that prevent researchers from the region to create a stronger user community which accesses and uses the facilities of European Research Infrastructures.<\/p>\n Scientists of the UZHNU have been organizing a set of outpost events in Ukraine in the frame of ACCELERATE, to raise awareness among the research community in Ukraine and neighbouring countries about the possibility of using different advanced techniques of analysis in research focused on Material, Biomaterials and Nanotechnology. In particular, the CERIC open access opportunities are presented by the UZHNU in satellite events organized in parallel to international scientific conferences.<\/p>\n Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACCELERATE project partner Uzhhorod National University had been active in raising awareness among the research community in Ukraine about the opportunities available for them in CERIC, in particulate the\u00a0Fast Track open access for COVID-19<\/a>\u00a0research.<\/p>\n In that regard, two online events took place:<\/p>\n *<\/strong>Article available\u00a0<\/em>here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
