Mariupol State University is actively establishing partnerships with Asian HEIs. On May 16, MSU signed a memorandum of cooperation with Tzu Chi University (Taiwan).  

The signing procedure was held in an online format. Mariupol University was represented by Rector, Professor Mykola Trofymenko and Vice-Rector for Scientific and Pedagogical Work (International Relations), Professor Olena Pavlenko.

It is a great honor to create cooperation and open up new opportunities for Mariupol University and Tzu Chi University. I hope that our partnership will bring a huge number of joint scientific projects and research and help develop international cooperation between Ukraine and Taiwan,

–  Rector of Mariupol State University, Professor Mykola Trofymenko.

The key objectives of the two types of cooperation are to support and develop online educational programs, use experience for future research, and ensure high quality and stability of higher education in Ukraine.

Tzu Chi University has been actively supporting Ukrainians since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine. In particular, the humanitarian mission of Taiwan University in Poland helps Ukrainians who were forced to leave their native country due to the war.
