Workshop on the training methodologies developed within Erasmus+ projects

18 September 2023

On 15 September 2023, NURE’s projectі members representing 2 Departments, namely Artificial Intelligence and Economic Cybernetics and Management of Economic Security, together with colleagues from ITSU (Kyiv) held the Workshop “Co-evolution “Business-University”: New Realities – New Practices” disseminating the methodological results of 3 Erasmus+ projects UniCities, WARN and JoInME.

NURE has a leading role in both projects WARN and JoInME. Workshop delivered the practices have been developed for efficient teaching countering hybrid threats (following the project WARN) and for innovative entrepreneurship in the fields of artificial intelligence for Industry 5.0 (following the JoInME project) in response to the dramatically changed security situation caused by unpredictable challenges like pandemics or wars.

An event was held in Kyiv that allowed representatives of the academic society and business from Kharkiv, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, and the temporarily occupied Donetsk and Donetsk region to come together for a project workshop.

During the workshop, project members from NURE, including Associate Professors of AI Dep. Maria Golovianko and of EC Dep. Svitlana Gryshko, showed the advantages of the new teaching approaches within changed reality. The short tutorship made to the teaching auditorium demonstrated several practical methods that revealed the lively response of the colleagues.

Results of such projects enable direct contribution of AI and EC Departments to the sustainable growth through implementing Sustainable Development Goals, namely SDG4 (Quality Education), SDG8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) SDG9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) as well as indirect contribution (through the long-term project impact due to launching graduates’ innovative start-up projects) to SDG3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

The specially invited speaker, Dr. Svitlana Shytikova, Coordinator of the EU project “National Erasmus+ Office in Ukraine”, presented the new opportunities of the Erasmus+ program and the significant importance of project synergy and team interaction to strengthen the impact of projects at different levels, which was clearly demonstrated by the teams of three projects who combined experience, efforts and results in the newest methodological framework.

Deep gratitude to colleagues – partners from WARN – environment – HEI “Academician Yuriy International Scientific and Technical University”, the rector of the university, Professor Veronika Khudoley, and the First vice-rector, Professor Oksana Karpenko, for their inspiring and powerful contribution to the intellectual synergistic result of the jointly organized workshop and their invaluable help in attracting a wide academic audience.
