Open seminar on the topic "Academic Counteraction to Hybrid Threats"

inFebruary 17, 2022

On the occasion of the Day of Unity, which Ukrainians celebrated on February 16, as well as in accordance with the decree of the President of Ukraine dated February 14, 02.2022 No. 53/20221, the management of the International Scientific and Technical University named after Academician Yuriy Bugai organized a relevant scientific and methodological seminar for students of higher education and employees institution The event was held on February 17 at 14:40 p.m. on the Google Meet platform.

The main speaker of the meeting was Oksana Oleksandrivna Karpenko, the implementer of the WARN project.

The main issues of the seminar were the definition of the concept and purpose of hybrid threats, possible methods of their implementation, as well as consideration of the Ukrainian-English glossary on hybrid threats, which is quite relevant today.

At the end of the seminar, the speaker was able to acquaint the listeners with WARN project innovations, expected results and tasks, the main sub-items of which are:

  • to adapt 11 educational programs from 7 branches;
  • develop and implement teaching of LLL-courses for improving the qualifications of teachers and continuing education for adults;
  • to create an interdisciplinary environment for countering hybrid threats. Our University will also be a participant in such an interdisciplinary environment.

We would also like to note that WARN is a project aimed at updating 11 separate educational programs, the analysis of which revealed the inability to adequately counter hybrid problems (a full list of educational programs is on the official website WARN). The update will take place through the introduction of unique content that will create awareness of possible hybrid threats and innovative training methods that will provide opportunities and competences to further proactively neutralize these threats.

Remember that it is the awareness of the possibilities of countering hybrid threats that can help keep a sane calm and a cool mind.
