Kick-off meeting in Bodø

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.

On February 13, the kick-off project meeting was held in a hybrid format, with some participants from Poland and Ukraine joining via Zoom. This took place in Bodø, Norway, on the premises of the coordinating institution, Nord University.
