On June 17-18, 2025, a delegation from Academician Stepan Demianchuk International University of Economics and Humanities made a working visit to WSPS University (Warsaw, Poland) to participate in a workshop with Ukrainian and British partners. The working group included Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and Quality of Education Viktoriia Artiushok, Head of the International and Project Department Alina Kruhliak, and Head of the Department of Romance and Germanic Philology Iryna Budz.
The workshop was led by Ian Gadd, Head of the Development for European Projects at Bath Spa University (UK), and was attended by scholars and project management experts from Academician Stepan Demianchuk International University of Economics and Humanities, Yurii Fedkovych National University in Chernivtsi, and Kyiv School of Economics.
During the meeting, the scientists reported on the results of the preparation of a joint report as part of the Pump Priming Collaboration grant project.
During the meeting, the scientists also discussed the stages of preparation for participation in the new project, analysed the key areas of cooperation, the structure of the future consortium, and agreed on the main tasks, expected results, and distribution of roles within the project.
Participation in such international initiatives opens up new opportunities for Ukrainian scientists and institutions, helps to strengthen partnerships and ensures integration into the pan-European research space.
We thank our partners for fruitful cooperation and constructive dialogue. The active phase of preparing a joint application is ahead, which will be a significant step towards the implementation of an innovative project at the European level.
