About

Mission

In cooperation with NGOs and other partners, TURBO aims to strengthen the capacity of Ukrainian universities to address the emerging needs of society and support the country’s integration into the European Union.

Motto

Mobilis in mobile – “moving within the moving element” or “changing in the changes.”
The motto reflects the project’s belief that universities act as agents of change, adapting to and shaping rapidly evolving environments.

Main Activities (by year)

2024:

  • Professional training for Ukrainian HEIs
  • Experience sharing among partners
  • Development and refinement of curricula for IDPs
  • Establishing project governance structures

2025:

  • Delivery of educational programmes for IDPs (spring & autumn)
  • Self-evaluation and programme adjustment
  • Surveys and focus groups with IDPs to assess impact 

2026:

  • Experience exchange
  • Final white paper and dissemination activities 
  • Policy recommendations for Ukrainian ministries
  • External evaluation of project performance

Who will benefit?

The main target group is Ukrainian HEIs building their resilience and capacity.

Final beneficiaries are IDPs with graduate education searching for work, who will benefit from academic retraining in Ukrainian HEIs. This is expected to lead to better employment and integration into the local society, where IDPs had to resettle due to the war.

Results (planned)

  • Updated and innovative micro-credential programmes
  • Improved capacity of Ukrainian academic staff
  • Structured cooperation between HEIs, NGOs, and public authorities
  • Visible dissemination at national and international levels
