About Ukraine Documenting Grant Program

Documenting Ukraine is an IWM research project that seeks to contribute to creating a record of the Russo-Ukrainian War, capturing the human experience of that war, and making it accessible and comprehensible to the broader world.

Through Documenting Ukraine, the IWM supports scholars, journalists, public intellectuals, artists, and archivists based in Ukraine as they work on documentation projects that establish and preserve a factual record—whether through reporting, gathering published source material, or collecting oral testimony—or that bring meaning to events through intellectual reflection and artistic interpretation.

Ultimately, the materials collected and produced through these projects will be housed in a complex, transdisciplinary archive.

The Documenting Ukraine program is glad to start the 2024 application cycle. Ukrainian academics, creative professionals and public intellectuals are welcome to apply for one-time EUR 5,000 grants for projects documenting the experience of the full-scale Russo-Ukrainian war or providing intellectual or artistic reflections on these events. They are accepting applications until 19 August 2024.

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.
