Structure of research plan: Call for inviting researchers from Ukraine to Finland

This structure of the research plan applies to applications for mobility funding concerning inviting researchers from Ukraine to Finland.

Append the research plan to the application in PDF format. Read the call text carefully before you start writing the research plan.

The maximum length of the research plan is five pages. The font is Source Sans Pro (font size 12 pt, line spacing 1 and margins 20 mm). The paper size is A4. All bibliographic references must be added directly into the text, for example as follows: (Author(s) Year or [number]). You must not use footnotes. The list of references is part of the research plan and does count towards the length of the plan.
