In 2024, the SUSTED project ‘Education for sustainable development: synergy of competences for the recovery of Ukraine’ was successfully selected under the EU ERASMUS+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) programme. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of higher education institutions to advocate for sustainable development in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine through the development of competencies for sustainable management and leadership.

The project will be implemented by a consortium of EU colleagues:

• The Hague University of Applied Science, the Netherlands;
• University of Economics and Innovation in Lublin, Poland;
• Danubius University, Slovakia; IDEA Academy, Malta

and Ukraine:

• Polissia National University (Project Coordinator),
• National University of Chernihiv Polytechnic,
• Podilskyi State University,
• Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University,
• Western Ukrainian National University.

In 2024, there was very high competition between applicants – only fourteen projects were recommended for funding under the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme for capacity building in higher education (CBHE)!

We congratulate the consortium on their victory and wish them a successful and productive implementation of the SUSTED project!
