Scientists can now apply for a deferment through the Reserve+ mobile app. It was announced by the Ministry of Defense, according to the Ukrainian News agency.
"The Reserve+ app has expanded the list of citizens who can apply for a deferment from mobilization entirely online—the service is now available to researchers at higher education institutions and research organizations," the statement said.
To obtain a deferment online, you must have up-to-date information in the Unified State Electronic Database on Education (USEDE) regarding:
primary place of employment;
employment of at least 0.75 FTE;
the right to a deferment based on a position in higher education;
work in a position included in the list of scientific positions.
It is also important that the institution where the person works is confirmed in the USEDE as one engaged in scientific activities and has passed state certification.
In addition, deferment is available to employees of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, national sectoral academies of sciences, and their administrative bodies.
Deferment in Reserve+, as before, is available to scientific and pedagogical staff and pedagogical staff of institutions of higher, pre-higher, and vocational education, as well as researchers involved in the educational process.
To apply for a deferral in Reserve+ online:
log in to the Reserve+ mobile app;
find the relevant section: select the category "Higher and Vocational Education Staff, Scientists" and click the "Submit Request" button;
wait for a notification: the system will automatically verify your data in state registries and send a message with the result.
If the information in the Unified State Electronic Database of Education (USEDE) is up-to-date and meets the requirements, the deferral will be processed automatically.
If an error occurs or you are unable to process the deferment online, do not go to a territorial recruitment and social support center immediately; first, contact your employer (the HR department or the institution’s administration)—most likely, your data in the USEDE system is outdated and needs to be urgently verified or updated.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in February, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced that 90% of deferrals were automatically extended via the "Reserve+" mobile app, and the Ministry of Defense is working on a comprehensive mobilization reform.
