Launch of the TURBO project

We are happy to announce that we launched the project “The Universities’ Reaction to Big Obstructions: Building resilient higher education to respond and manage societal crises” (TURBO). The project is financed by the EU, Erasmus+. The main aim of TURBO is to increase the resilience, preparedness, and responsiveness of Ukrainian higher education institutions (HEIs) by building their capacities, improving competencies, and sharing experiences.

The participants of the project are Nord University (Norway), which is the main coordinator of the project, Kozminski University (Poland), International Foundation for Social Adaptation, and seven Ukrainian universities: Lviv Polytechnic National University, West Ukrainian National University, Chernivtsi National Fedkovych University, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, Vinnytsia National Technical University, and South Ukrainian State Pedagogical University named after K.D. Ushynsky.

The first physical meetings in frames of this project with some online participants from Poland and Ukraine on Zoom, and a thematic seminar, “The role of digitalization in training and social adaptation during the crises,” took place in February 2024 in Bodø.

The picture is taken during the first meeting of the Steering Committee meeting on 13 February 2024.
