Erasmus+ Key Action 2 Capacity Building in Higher Education
Currently NaUKMA is implementing the following Erasmus+ KA 2 Capacity Building in Higher Education projects:

• LibArt_UA, Designing and implementing Liberal Arts Studies in Ukraine (NaUKMA is a project coordinator / grant holder)

LiabArt_UA project aims to introduce Liberal Arts (LA) and Liberal Arts and Science (LAS) programmes into the Ukrainian HE system drawing on the best practices and experience of EU partners. The project will establish five interdisciplinary LA/LAS programmes at the Bachelor level (EQF 6) in 5 regional Ukrainian HEIs representing 5 geographic regions: east, southeast, south, center, west of Ukraine and 2 categories: 3 pedagogical/humanities universities and 2 classical universities with developed natural science faculties. Curricula and course syllabi for LA/LAS programming will be designed, teachers trained, employers and school-leavers engaged, students recruited, programmes launched, duly accredited and popularized. Best practice from EU partners with multi-year experience in LA/LAS implementation will be drawn upon in the design and popularization of interdisciplinary short-cycle programmes relevant to Ukraine’s regional labour market and post-war reconstruction human capital needs.

Projects years: 2024-2027

• DigiUni, Developing a Digital Ecosystem for Ukrainian Universities

DigiUni project is aimed at supporting higher education in Ukraine during the wartime and post-war restoration period. Currently, it is the largest project under the Erasmus+ program ever implemented in Ukraine.

The project goals are :
  • Development of a high-performing digital educational ecosystem in Ukraine to ensure continuous, high-quality, inclusive, and transparent education, regardless of the student's and teacher’s location, using the existing digital innovations in the field of education and the understandable paradigm of involving future innovations, develop holistic and sustainable higher education system to meet socio-economic needs and broad ambitions for a knowledge-based economy.
  • Digitalization of teaching and learning methods and providing the infrastructure necessary for online and inclusive education.
  • Contribution to the progressive synchronization of Ukrainian and European universities in line with the values, standards, and priorities of the European Higher Education Area, and in the perspective of the future accession of Ukraine to the European Union (EU). The project aims to promote the manifestation of European solidarity on a "bottom-up" principle based on inter-institutional cooperation and a result-oriented approach, combined with various levels of political decision-making

Completed Erasmus+ KA 2 CBHE projects (since 2015):

• BACE, Building Academic Capacity in Global Health in the Eastern Europe - Central Asia Region

BACE's overall objective is to enable three EECA countries – Georgia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine – to build capacity of their higher education systems in order to integrate Global Health (GH) into their academic programmes. This will be achieved through the development of technical knowledge among partner HEIs in priority GH topics and GH research methods, capacity building of academic staff in pedagogical and methodological approaches for designing and delivering new curricula, jointly developing new GH courses, and the forging and reinforcement of collaborative links between HEIs and non-academic organisations in Partner Countries and Programme Countries.

• DocHub, Structuring cooperation in doctoral research, transferable skills training, and academic writing instruction in Ukraine's regions

This project aims to accelerate national implementation of Bologna-style 3rd cycle programs in Ukraine by building enabling structures (MinEdu regulations and university-level Codes of Practice), and to aggregate critical mass (integrating the resources of Academy of Sciences research institutes and the teaching and research capacities of universities) for PhD education. Within the lifetime of the project, inter-HEI cooperation in PhD training is to become institutionalized through the creation of research training clusters focused on university-based hubs (Doctoral Schools / DocHubs) that provide teaching and administrative infrastructure in 5 regional centers: west, center, east, south, and south-east. Teaching in each DocHub will focus on a specialty subject area, and on transferable skills (e.g. presentations, project management, etc.), and on academic writing for publication. The course curricula and trainings will be delivered in a blended learning format enabling flexibility and distance learning, thus increasing the geographic catchment areas of each DocHub. The adoption of appropriate regulatory documents by cluster participants (and their agreement with MinEdu and other Ministries) will enable licensing and accreditation of joint PhD programs and PhD programs with transfer credit components, and financial transfer of state funds between HEIs.

Projects years: 2016-2020

• MILETUS, Students' Mobility Capacity Building in Higher Education in Ukraine and Serbia

The MILETUS project addresses capacity building in the field of virtual, real and blended mobility runs (MR) at Serbian and Ukraine Higher Education Institutions (HEI). By creating the necessary governance at ministerial and institutional level, MILETUS achieves the improvement of employment opportunities for Master's graduates in internationally active companies and the quality enhancement of PhD students’ research, and thus their contribution to high quality research in the partner countries.

• BIHSENA, Bridging Innovations, Health and Societies

The BIHSENA project aims to respond to a lack of education opportunities in the interdisciplinary area of health, innovations and society in the two countries of Russia and Ukraine, and to bridge a gap between (bio)medical and social scientists, academics and practitioners in these two countries as well as between local and international communities. The need for such education and interdisciplinary/cross-sectorial engagements is urgent against the background of healthcare systems transformation and attempts to find innovative solutions for persisting health problems in the Eastern European neighboring areas.
