The European Crafts Alliance (ECA) is seeking proposals from expert researchers to produce a comprehensive analysis of the Ukrainian crafts ecosystem following the Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

Building on the ECA’s established track record of sectoral intelligence, this study represents a vital step in our ongoing mission to strengthen the European crafts profession. Commissioned within the framework of our EU co-funded CraftsNet project, the research will document the resilience of Ukrainian craftspeople and provide evidence-based tools to ensure their professional continuity.

The successful contractor will be expected to deliver a situation analysis covering practitioners in Ukraine and abroad, alongside a practical "Resilience Toolkit".
