As part of the Karazin University team, Deputy Director of the Education and Research Institute “Ukrainian Engineering and Pedagogical Academy” Professor Maryna Vasylieva began training within the Academic Managers` Professional Development Programme.
The Academic Managers` Professional Development Programme is a unique initiative of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, implemented by the British Council as part of a joint project between the Ministry and the World Bank, UIHERP: Improving Higher Education in Ukraine for Results.
The Karazin University team, which includes a representative of the ERI “UEPA”, consists of Professor Maryna Vasylieva, Acting Director of the ERI “Teachers` Academy” Olha Vyhovska, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Economics Karyna Panova, Deputy Head of the International Relations Department Roman Nesterenko, Deputy Director of the ERI “Teachers` Academy” Tetiana Datsenko, and Head of the Department of Economics and Management Larysa Tiesheva.
The first module of the academic managers` professional development programme took place from 21 to 24 April 2025 at Mariupol State University in Kyiv. The module focused on the role of universities in the context of social transformations. It addressed current trends in university autonomy, good governance and leadership, the concept of a community university, interaction with employers and the community, and the university's public service.
It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about modern approaches to higher education management, expand professional networking, and be inspired by case studies from colleagues at different universities.
