 From October 11 to October 17, a delegation from the Kingdom of Denmark visited Ternopil National Economic University. This study visit gave Danish students the opportunity to attend lectures, visit companies and get acquainted with the culture of Ukraine.

On October 16, three teachers and nine master students from the Business School of Aarhus University (Denmark) arrived at TNEU. The students of the Ukrainian-Dutch faculty-programme told Danish guests interesting facts about Ukraine, presented Ternopil, and also gave a detailed account of the past and present of the Ternopil National Economic University. Danish students, in turn, shared information about Denmark and the Aarhus University.

After the presentations, an interesting discussion on various aspects of student life and study in Denmark unfolded. It was nice to see not only our students, but also pupils of the Ternopil Specialized School №3, who actively communicated with the guests at this meeting. During thier visit the Danish delegation also attended two lectures by the professors of the Department of International Economic Relations held on October 16, 2018.

 From October 8 to October 11, Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor at the Department of Economic Theory of TNEU Oleksandr Dluhopolskyi took part in the International Academic Week organized by the International Office of the Wroclaw University of Economics, Poland. The International Academic Mobility Week brought together 15 research scientists from 10 countries (France, Germany, Austria, Turkey, Croatia, Portugal, Italy, Ukraine, Greece, Russia), who delivered lectures for undergraduate and graduate students of economics.

The topic of professor Dluhopolskyi's speech concerned the influence the degree of trust has on the effectiveness of reforms in Ukraine. A separate option for the international event was workshops in the form of round tables devoted to research collaboration and joint publications in international editions (Scopus, WoS).

In general, the results of international internships laid the foundation for the exchange of experience in conducting trainings and lectures, the creation of project teams for future international projects, as well as interdisciplinary research.

 Exchange of experience with foreign partners, work on joint projects open up new opportunities for both academics and students of higher education institutions. On October 16, TNEU launched another interesting direction of international activity - cooperation with the University of Georgia. TNEU rector Andriy Krysovatyy and rector of the Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, Merab Khalvashi, signed a corresponding Memorandum during a visit in Batumi. Colleagues discussed the prospects of joint work in the scientific and educational spheres.

We truly believe that this cooperation will prove fruitful and bring quality results!
