On January 24, 2024, Institute of International Education took part in the Kick-off Meeting for Ukrainian and US Universities, which was organized by Odesa National Economic University, the partner of “KROK” University within Erasmus+ KA 2 #COOPERA project. The main goal of this online event was to discuss the concept of establishing a consortium of Ukrainian universities with a focus on driving Ukraine's reconstruction and integration into the European Union and United States economies.

The event gathered around 20 representatives of Ukrainian and US HEIs.

During the productive meeting partners discussed the possibility to create a consortium to enhance collaboration with U.S. universities, identified the specific areas of potential collaboration within the framework of research and projects application.
