Presentation of the Scholars without Borders Programme for HEIs of Dnipro region at Dnipro University of Technology

In the present-day conditions, Ukrainian science is facing new challenges. We have to preserve and increase intellectual potential despite the challenges. It requires a comprehensive approach, including the development of research institutes, support for scientists, and integration of Ukrainian science into the international community. 

The presentation of the Scholars without Borders programme for the HEIs of Dnipro region took place at Dnipro University of Technology on 11 June 2024.

Marta Tomakhiv, Coordinator of BridgeUSA Ukrainian Academic Fellows Program implemented by the U.S. Department of State, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Office of Private Sector Exchange and the American Councils for International Education, spoke about the areas of cooperation between Ukrainian and American educators and researchers and shared important insights into the application criteria, selection procedure and expected results.

Daniel Epstein, Assistant Director of Harvard University's Davis Center Scholars without Borders initiative, introduced the programme's capabilities, spoke about the importance of cooperation in research and assured that the international community fully supports Ukrainian scientists.

During the panel discussion, the participants shared their own experiences of working in wartime, and discussed new challenges and ways to overcome them.

The Presentation was joined by representatives of various HEIs from Dnipro region, including Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, University of Customs and Finance, and Pryazovskyi State Technical University. 

The event was organised by the Center for International Cooperation of Dnipro University of Technology. 

We are grateful to the speakers for their attentiveness to the needs of Ukrainian scientists. We are confident that with such support, we will be able to overcome all the challenges and bring the value of our research not only to Ukraine but to the whole world!
