WEST UKRAINIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

 Dear scholars and educators!
We encourage researchers and representatives of the academic community of the West Ukrainian National University to submit scientific articles for publication in the next issue of the international scientific journal Agora International Journal of Economic Sciences (AIJES).

 A momentous occasion - the initiation of first-year students into student life - has been celebrated at the Bohdan Havrylyshyn Education and Research Institute of International Relations at WUNU. For the newcomers, this day marked not only the triumphant beginning of their studies, but also symbolised their joining a community that shapes future leaders on an international scale.

 Recently, the Faculty of Finance and Accounting of WUNU hosted the annual volleyball tournament ‘Dean's Cup – 2025’, which has already become a good tradition and a real celebration of student sports. The Dean of the Faculty of Finance and Accounting, Andrii Kizyma, and the Acting Head of the Department of Physical Rehabilitation and Sports, Nataliia Bezpalova, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech, emphasising the importance of developing sporting traditions as an important component in shaping active, purposeful and united young people.

 International cooperation between universities is one of the key factors in integration into the global educational and scientific space. It opens up access to new intellectual resources, creates a favorable environment for the development of joint research projects, the dissemination of innovations, and the improvement of the competitiveness of educational programs.
