This project is a continuation of “ Governance, Gender and the Environment ”, supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs 2004–07. NUPI’s partner institution in Ukraine is the National University of Kiev-Mohyla Academy (NaUKMA) (http://www.dfc.ukma.kiev.ua/).
The cooperation is based on a framework agreement with NaUKMA, with three components:
- Masters-level teaching in relevant problem issues connected to democratisation, gender-based migration, environmental economics and international economics
- workshops and conference with researchers from NaUKMA and international research circles involved in the above area
- development of research collaboration with Ukrainian academic circles.
In addition, the plan is to develop dialogue projects with Ukrainian colleagues on Euro-Atlantic questions, and to prepare a new form of collaboration in trade issues. In the previous project period, the EERC (Economics Education and Research Consortium) was part of Mohyla Academy; as this has now changed, we endeavour to establish a new form of cooperation that can involve both Mohyla Academy and the EERC.
