Resilience of Education: Sustainability and Cooperation for Ukrainian Universities (RESCUU)

Link to Boot Camp “Start-Ups and Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Development”

Link to Boot Camp “International Cooperation in Research and Innovation”

In January 2023, with the financial support of the Swedish Institute (SI), the international project “Resilience of Education: Sustainability and Cooperation for Ukrainian Universities” (RESCUU) was launched.

Igor Sikorsky KPI together with several partner universities of the Baltic University Program (BUP) are the executors of this project. RESCUU project is led by the Coordinating Secretariat at Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.

The project period is January 2023 – June 2024.

The project will contribute to the resilience of wartime Ukraine’s educational institutions and will support Ukrainian teachers, students, and researchers who remain in Ukraine and work or study at Ukrainian universities. The goal of the project is to help teachers, scientists, and students prepare for active participation in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

This project will provide several events, both online and physical, aimed at the target groups mentioned above. The content of the events will be focused on knowledge and experiences needed to overcome the consequences of the war, as well as problems of sustainability in connection to the war in terms of social life, environment, etc.

We believe that by participating in international events within the framework of the project, teachers and students will receive support from their international peers and colleagues, and they will establish contacts for collaboration with universities in the Baltic Sea Region.
