Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom has launched its International Grant Competition on Environmental and Social Innovation, inviting individuals and organizations to submit projects aimed at addressing environmental and community needs.

The competition seeks to promote volunteer engagement and environmental awareness, support youth-led initiatives, improve the quality of life of local communities and vulnerable groups, and encourage innovative approaches to social development.

Applications are invited across 10 thematic areas, including youth and environmental education, support for vulnerable groups and NGOs through volunteering, environmental protection, volunteer networks, urban communities, animal welfare, sports and healthy lifestyles, digital solutions for social initiatives, public-space improvement, and cultural and heritage projects. Both new initiatives and distinct phases of ongoing projects are eligible.

In 2026, the main competition is open to organizations from Bangladesh, Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye and Uzbekistan.

A new special category, “Arctic: Innovation and Sustainable Development,” is open to applicants worldwide. It supports educational, scientific, outreach and youth-led projects that raise awareness of the Arctic’s importance for sustainable economic development, logistics, science and international cooperation. Eligible applicants include NGOs, educational institutions, universities, youth organizations, museums and environmental education groups.

Applications will be accepted until November 1, 2026. Projects will be assessed on relevance, feasibility, economic efficiency, systemic approach and long-term impact. Selected projects may undergo online expert review, while winners will receive grant funding and may receive expert advisory support during implementation.

Results will be announced in January 2027. For guidelines and application details, visit atom-grant.org. – Press release
