Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University achieved a significant victory, winning 5 projects in the direction Jean Monet within the framework of the European Union Program Erasmus + for 2026. This is a significant success for the university and another confirmation of its active integration into the European educational and scientific space.
Current topics and strong teams
New projects cover topics that are extremely relevant for Ukraine and the EU, including: digital competencies, artificial intelligence, information literacy, open knowledge management, digital leadership, soft skills development, digital employment, cyber hygiene, critical thinking, and countering disinformation.
"5 victories within one competitive selection is a strong result that we can truly be proud of. Behind each such project are professional teams that work not only on the development of the university, but also on ensuring that modern education meets the challenges facing Ukraine and Europe. It is especially important that a significant part of the projects is related to digital competencies, artificial intelligence, information security and the sustainability of society. These are areas that directly determine our future," said Valentyn Mondryivskyi, Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration.
