The above-mentioned project, Ukrainian Studies Go Global, intends to investigate the best practices of the development of Ukrainian studios and Ukrainian studies in Ukraine and abroad, as well as to promote the study of Ukraine as a topic for research in various aspects: from energy to cybersecurity.

The project team analyzed the world’s top 200 universities according to the QS World University Ranking 2022 in order to realize where Ukrainian studies is explored as part of general programs and where Ukrainian studios teach individually. These data and contacts of corresponding universities and professors have been put on the map so that every student or lecturer has access to it. Besides, one has created case studies describing current challenges in education, medicine, cybersecurity, and energy for academic discussion.
