On the initiative of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology, European Alliance Unite! invited seven universities of Ukraine, including Lviv Polytechnic National University, to cooperate. Higher education institutions will implement the project «Green Transformation at Ukrainian Universities», which is financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchanges (NAWA).
The main goal is to support the academic community of Ukraine through the involvement of partner institutions in regular events within the framework of the Unite! project, Erasmus+ programme, in the working area «Regional Innovation Ecosystem and Digital Campus» (WP8) led by the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Another, no less important goal is to establish permanent cooperation between Ukrainian universities and the Unite! network, which will contribute to the process of post-war reconstruction of our country, and will also be an important step in the process of its integration into the European Union. As part of the project implementation, work is planned in the following areas:
- Green standards in engineering education,
- Green campus,
- summer schools,
- three microcredit educational programs,
- preparation of digital materials.
The kick-off meeting of representatives of all partner universities from Ukraine and the European Alliance Unite!, including its general secretary Andreas Winkler, took place at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology from January 25 to 28, 2023. Three representatives were delegated from Lviv Polytechnic National University: Vice-Rector Nataliya Chuhray, Professor Ihor Shchur (Institute of Power Engineering and Control Systems) and Associate Professor Khrystyna Myroniuk (Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Systems). The management of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology and representatives of National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance of Ukraine also attended the meeting. The participants focused on the development and approval of the work plan of the project.
