The Ivan Franko International Foundation has announced candidates for the Prize of the same name, which is awarded to scientists whose work is a significant contribution to the development of social sciences and humanities, is of international importance and is based on scientific understanding of historical or contemporary processes in Ukrainian culture, politics and public life.

In 2021, 26 scientific papers from Austria, Canada, the United States and Ukraine were submitted for the Ivan Franko International Prize. The submission was initiated by eleven universities from Cambridge, Dnipro, Drohobych, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lutsk, Lviv, Melitopol as well as six scientific institutions and four past Prize winners.

The scientists from Canada, Lithuania and Ukraine will compete for the victory. Due to the aggression, the scientific works submitted from the Russian Federation were not allowed to participate in the competition.
