Synergies

UNERA

Ukrainian-Norwegian Education and Research Alliance (UNERA) is a network of Ukraine-based researchers and experts from universities, research institutes, non-governmental organizations, and other institutions interested in education and research cooperation with Norway. The Alliance builds upon the longitudinal cooperation between Nord University and the network of Ukrainian universities and NGOs that has continued since 2003 in several projects.

Participation is open to institutions in Ukraine and Norway that have been approved as Partners and Associated Partners of the Alliance. Each institution appoints members, which will be engaged into work of the Alliance. UNERA is based on voluntary commitment. Membership is free of charge.

UKRAINETT

UKRAINETT is a network of researchers and experts in Norway with interest in and knowledge about Ukraine. The network is further meant to be a hub for Ukrainian researchers and academics who are currently in Norway due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

UKRAINETT PLUS

The New Project has received funding from the Norwegian Research Council

We are happy to inform you that the Norwegian Research Council has funded a new 3-year project to continue and expand the UKRAINETT activities. This should hopefully bring new dynamism to our UNERA network as well. Below, you find a summary of the project’s work packages. The project is managed by NIBR at OsloMet University. Nord University is responsible for the Work Package 2 – organization of the Annual Ukrainett Plus Conference. The first UKRAINETT PLUS conference is expected to take place in Bodø in autumn 2024, Bergen – in 2025, and Oslo – in 2026. We will keep you updated!

The UKRAINETT PLUSS first conference, which will be arranged during autumn 2024, will also have hybrid sessions, meaning that even those members of UNERA who might be unable to travel out from Ukraine may also join the conference. We are open to receiving suggestions from you for possible topics for relevant research tracks.

The UKRAINETT PLUS network expands the scope of an already established cross-disciplinary Norwegian Network for research on Ukraine. It establishes and strengthens formalized cooperation with Ukraine-based research institutions and individual researchers as well as wit Ukrainian researchers in Norway.
