 Within the framework of the project 619119-EPP-1-2020-1-NL-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP "Synergy of educational, scientific, managerial and industrial components for climate management and climate change prevention" / CLIMAN (KA2 Erasmus+ Programme), representatives of West Ukrainian National University visited the University of Foggia (Italy) from August 30 to September 1, 2023.

The delegation included Olena Borysiak (Project Coordinator, Director of the Education and Research Center for Innovative Development and Training), Vasyl Brych (Director of the Education and Research Institute of Innovation, Nature Management and Infrastructure), and Antin Shuvar (Head of the Department of Agribiotechnology).

Giulio Esposito, Head of the International Relations Office of the University of Foggia, coordinated the organization of the study program within the framework of the project. All project partners from Ukraine and Georgia took part in the study visit: KROK University (Ukraine), Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University (Ukraine), Lviv Polytechnic National University (Ukraine), West Ukrainian National University (Ukraine), Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University (Georgia), Kutaisi Akaki Tsereteli State University (Georgia).

The purpose of the visit was to share knowledge, exchange scientific and practice-oriented developments on the synergy of educational, scientific, managerial and industrial components for climate management and climate change prevention at universities of the European Union (on the example of the University of Foggia, Italy), to help universities in Ukraine and Georgia become centers for the development of climate management research to accelerate integration into the global climate market and implement global climate regulation requirements through the introduction of best practices.

The curriculum included participation in training sessions and workshops on conducting climate management research in the European Union. As part of the study visit, working meetings were held between the project partners from Ukraine and Georgia, and the status of the work packages was discussed. Olena Borysiak and partners have discussed the peculiarities of fulfilling the tasks within the work package on the establishment and operation of climate management centers at partner universities in Ukraine and Georgia within the framework of the project.
