Vice-rector for scientific and pedagogical work and international activities Oleksandr LABENKO and head of the international relations department Maksym KLYMENKO held a working meeting with Manlio Scalzilli, founder and CEO of the Italian company Alphard Europe, which since 2019 has specialized in organizing international mobility paths for ITS Academy and implementing individually designed Erasmus+ projects in Europe. The company cooperates with European educational institutions, providing practical exchange mechanisms for students and teachers within the framework of European Union programs.
The parties focused on expanding the participation of NUBiP of Ukraine in international educational projects and Erasmus+ programs, as well as on the emergence of additional opportunities for students, teachers and employees of the University - internships, study visits and professional development in Italian partner institutions. We discussed new formats of partnership with universities and educational institutions in Italy within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA1 program, which provides for educational and credit mobility of students, as well as the mobility of teaching and administrative staff for teaching, professional development and professional internships abroad.
Special attention was paid to the potential of cooperation between NUBiP of Ukraine and a wide network of Alphard Europe partner institutions outside of Italy, in particular in agricultural, environmental and environmental areas.
As a result of the meeting, the parties agreed on launching the joint international initiatives in the years to come and the continuation of consultations on specific partnership conditions, as well as the preparation of necessary documentation for launching the mobility within the Erasmus+ KA1 program to implement the best European practices in the University's educational process.
