Germany: DAAD funds 73 “Ukraine Digital” projects

The russian aggression against Ukraine has had a devastating impact on the infrastructure of the Ukrainian education and higher education (HE) system. Thus, the DAAD introduced a funding programme “Ukraine digital: Ensuring academic success in times of crisis”, which focuses on the fast implementation of virtual courses. German HE institutions are supported to enable their Ukrainian partner institutions in maintaining their virtual study programmes. In this way, students and scientists/researchers in and from Ukraine have the prospect of completing their studies despite the limitations caused by the war.
