Jean Monnet Module “Promotion of European skills and approaches for sustainable bioeconomy in the conditions of Ukrainian acute challenges” (PESAB) builds upon the successful implementation of international scientific and educational grants and projects of Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design, as well as through the initiated interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree program in Bioeconomics. The main goal of PESAB is to promote the knowledge of the EU in order to develop a sustainable bioeconomy in Ukraine in accordance with the EU strategy for the Bioeconomy. The project envisages the creation of a module, which provides for obtaining by students of various Bachelor's and Master's degrees the additional skills in the sustainable bioeconomy. Within the module, we offer three courses: 1) Sustainable biomass potentials of the EU and Ukraine; 2) Bioeconomics and trade in the context of international relations between Ukraine and the EU; 3) Strategies of sustainable bioeconomy of the European Union. Dissemination of the best EU practices in sustainable bioeconomy will be carried out through the introduction of new courses for students, trainings for teachers, conferences, workshops, round tables, scientific and practical seminars. This will develop interdisciplinary skills among students, pupils, teachers and the public by drawing on the positive experience of EU to provide the implementation of producing bioenergy and overcoming food crisis in the conditions of Ukrainian acute challenges.Taking into account Ukrainian war challenges, teaching and disseminating the European knowledge of sustainable bioeconomy and its popularization among academic staff, scientists, young researchers, students, pupils, business representatives, NGO representatives and representatives of local authorities will promote shaping future competent staff able to recover the country in the future post-war period and build up production, trade, science and research in European space.

The VEHUB4YOU project focuses on business knowledge’s transfer from EU to young people of Eastern partners countries (13 to 30 years) by virtual exchanges technologies. As part of Goal 9 EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 “Space and participation for all” consortium members will undertake common efforts for organizing a network of international virtual business hubs and teaching of doing business for high school pupils, college students and university students of both economic and non-economic specialties by creating VIRTUAL YOUTH BUSINES HUBS INTERNATIONAL NETWORK which includes 60 virtual international business hubs at schools, universities and rural libraries in Ukraine and Azerbaijan. European universities, with the help of universities and youth organizations in Ukraine and Azerbaijan, will share their business courses and experience of teachers with the youth of the Eastern Partnership countries. As a result, 2500 representatives from 60 hubs and 250 facilitators from Eastern partners countries will take part in the project, 220 participants from other specify regions will be involving as well (Southern Neighborhood and Sub Saharan Africa). The project participants will develop a pool of methodological materials for online business trainings. In addition, a training program for hub leaders and facilitators will be published, taking into account local requirements. The VEHUB4YOU project is expected improve the quality of business education by providing access to modern European education; at the organizational level promoting entrepreneurial learning and on the level of individual project participants is expected to get the skills of planning for a business, marketing the products and obtaining the instruments to create their own business. It is expected upgrading school, college and university educational programs in accordance with new trends on virtual learning and raising the efficiency of virtual education.

The project GR4FITE3 aims to reach Graphite Resilience For lithium-Ion baTtery anodes through a sustainable European End-to-End supply chain. This supply chain includes environmentally responsible European mining of natural crystalline flake graphite from Europe’s largest natural graphite resource, highly innovative, continuous and low energy input upgrading of the mined ore, adding recycled and fully repaired for reuse synthetic graphite and optionally silicon nanoparticles to compose a unique anode active material’s particle architecture, making the high density anodes, creating the cells, developing battery modules, certifying the lithium-ion batteries for safety and viability, and ultimately using these products by the OEMs including an established European electric bus manufacturer and a utility grid developer, among others. The purpose of GR4FITE3 project is to demonstrate the creation of a sustainable supply chain for the European industrial graphite and carbon products for specific use as anode active materials in Lithium-Ion batteries designed for applications in electric vehicles and power sources for utilities, such as solar and wind farms. This project is going to combine the efforts of 10 partner organizations from six European nations, employing both industry and academia. There are also four OEMs and five supporting organizations who have expressed their interest in tracking project’s progress and part-taking in a tangible manner in commercialization efforts associated with GR4FITE3 projects’ outcomes. With this larger group of stakeholders, the project spreads its reach to as many as ten countries and three continents, ensuring its global outreach from the very start.
