"The new hybrid threats challenge the world, and Ukraine in particular, on every level:- new threats result to unknown and dangerous vulnerabilities of the societies- currently societies lack sufficient knowledge and skills to cope with new threats- present academic curricula do not even remotely prepare to complex hybrid threats.- Ukrainian state officials, regional administrations and ministries dealing with reality of hybrid war, are lacking the knowledge and skills to recognize, classify and counter hybrid threats with required efficiencyThe analysis of Ukrainian curricula in fields of business and administration, information and communication technologies, social and behavioural science, arts, education, journalism and information showed that current curricula tend to be discipline based and do not address hybrid challenges adequately.The project aims to renew the above listed curricula by introducing unique content that builds awareness of hybrid threats and innovative gamified teaching methods that provide skills and competences to tackle complex threats proactively. The upgraded contents, based on newest EU partner curricula, together with new gamified teaching methods based on AI-inspired adversarial learning, will be used both in MSc degree education and in LLL to train ""positive change agents"" in diverse professional fields. The change agents will learn to adapt proactively to new complex, hybrid challenges, and to disseminate their knowledge to the society. International community of educators and alumnae (WARN network) will be created to guarantee the sustainable development of the educational content, teaching methods and dissemination after the project.The project will link to diverse stakeholders (ministries, state officials, local authorities, companies) for developing the content and to create real life scenarios as teaching materials for both degree education and LLL intensive courses, and for training them to counter hybrid threats."

The project PhDs EU-Rail aims to foster collaboration and innovation in the European railway sector by consolidating a scientific community and conducting research through 10 PhD positions. The project is closely aligned with the goals of the EU-RAIL Joint Undertaking (EU-Rail) and industry partners. The objectives of the project include developing a research plan for each PhD position, with the aim of submitting at least 2 peer-reviewed journal papers per position. The research topics cover a range of areas, such as supporting the implementation of rail technical innovations for decarbonization, promoting gender equality in the rail industry, exploring new education and training methods, enabling rail-based urban logistics, improving fast night train operations, studying the dynamic stability of trains over bridges, enhancing safety-relevant communication in the railway system, calculating societal KPIs of rail research programs, the railway inclusion and accessibility for individuals with intellectual disability and ICT platforms for interoperable and reliable ERTMS systems. The project also emphasizes collaboration with industry stakeholders and participation in relevant conferences and events to disseminate research findings. By expanding the Academics4Rail project and involving major European rail companies and academia, the project seeks to strengthen research and innovation capabilities in the European railway sector.

For successful integration to global transport network, providing high level transport services to both PCs and global community in the condition of uncertain continuous evolution of global supply chains, it is necessary to take into account European experience and support implementation of crisis and risks engineering for transport services (CRENG) of all levels (local, regional, national) in UA, AZ, TM. But now it is luck of high skilled specialists in CRENG in PCs. Project contribute CRENG development in PCs by creating of educational environment of high skilled specialists demanded by labor market, in line with EU best practices and Bologna process.Environment will include: new innovative MA program “CRENG”; educational materials on new developed curricula published, uploaded to the web-based platform; e-learning courses uploaded to the MOODLE platform; innovative laboratories (CRENG Labs), where students will acquire practical skills on using intelligence, digital and information technologies for CRENG; new teaching and learning approaches International Project Based Learning (IPBL) and Skills Wallet (SW).IPBL involves dynamic classroom approach in which group of international students will solve problems of global supply chains under conditions of risks and crisis. By IPBL graduates will acquire global business communication, management and English skills. SW is method of interaction between HEIs and employers, which helps graduates to acquire specific skills required by labor market. The main advantages of SW are: making universities and enterprises to become closer by mutual developing of educational content; increasing employability of graduates; making enterprises more flexible to implementation of innovations.To support IPBL and SW, disseminate knowledge on CRENG the network of CRENG Service Offices will be created as the background of established interaction between academia, industry, business and governments in PCs an EU.
