The boot camp is organized for students and young researchers from Ukrainian universities who aspire to participate in international research and innovation projects. The event will be held at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute; online participation is also possible.

This 4-day boot camp at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has been organized for Ukrainian university students and researchers who want to participate in international research and innovation projects.  Participants will enhance their career prospects with intensive training in international cooperation, team-building, inclusion, and other practices that will make them valuable research and innovation team members, and contribute to their career growth.

In the first 3 mornings, participants will attend plenary sessions providing them with an overview of the policies and funding mechanisms of the EU research and innovation system, its connection with the EU education system and academic mobility. In the afternoons, participants will form teams and, under the guidance of experts, attend workshops providing them with hands-on learning experiences in project initiation and the writing of competitive project proposals. On the 4th day, they will make public presentations of their projects, with evaluation by an international jury. Members of the winning team will be invited to participate in the international student conference ‘Challenges of Sustainable Development in the Baltic Sea Region because of the war in Ukraine’, which will be held in April-May 2024 in Poznan (Poland). Finally, each participant will receive a certificate of attendance and share impressions of the boot camp.

This boot camp is supported by a grant from the Swedish Institute as a part of the project ‘Resilience of Education: Sustainability and Cooperation for Ukrainian Universities’(RESCUU).
