- creation of modules on regional studies at other Ukrainian universities, embedded in the international relations studies;
- new knowledge and skills in regional studies and international relations;
- facilitating innovative ways as well as the quality of teaching and learning at Ukrainian universities by the purchase of equipment, including smartboards, anti-plagiarism software, access to online resources, and thematic books;
- in addition to equipment, an adequate training was provided for both teachers and students on academic writing and integrity, plagiarism, innovative teaching methods, blended courses etc.
Among other achievements:
- the students of Ukrainian universities have received international learning experience both at a winter school in Estonia as well as in Mariupol;
