German-Ukrainian cooperation: Exchange of experience, communication, and unity

inMar 21, 2024

From 10 to 17 March, representatives of the International Scientific and Technical University attended an on-campus seminar at Leibniz University of Hanover as part of the project "Management of Internationalisation and German-Ukrainian Academic Cooperation 2024".  

This event was an important step in the cooperation, as it allowed participants to deepen their understanding of key aspects of German higher education and its academic standards. Participants joined a series of presentations and discussions aimed at exploring topics such as the structure of the German higher education system, the role, and functions of the university's international office, and cooperation programmes with Ukrainian partners.  

Emphasis was placed on international mobility and academic exchanges, as they are a significant component in the development of the global higher education community. The participants also noted the importance of initiating changes in the context of academic cooperation aimed at increasing the accessibility and quality of educational programmes.  

The active exchange of views and experiences is worth noting. All this contributed to the expansion of contacts and the creation of a favorable climate for the further development of cooperation. Especially, it concerns not only between the International Scientific and Technical University and the Leibniz University of Hannover but also other Ukrainian and German educational institutions. Unity is essential, and cooperation at the international and national level in the field of education will contribute to the active development of Ukraine and its place in the world.  

In addition, as part of the project, the delegation visited the Hanover City Hall. Representatives of the city authorities introduced projects to support Ukraine and Ukrainians, and expressed their undoubted support for the Ukrainian people in the fight against the occupiers.  

The project "Management of Internationalisation and German-Ukrainian Academic Cooperation 2024” is a training course aimed at improving the skills of Ukrainian university staff. The Leibniz University of Hannover coordinates the project with funding from the DAAD programme.
