The British Foundation for Scientific Partnerships Supports an Interdisciplinary Programme

Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University has received financial support to continue collaboration with the University of East Anglia. The International Foundation for Scientific Partnerships (UK) will be funding a grant of £21,000 for the implementation of the interdisciplinary educational program “From Teachers to Innovators – from Students to Entrepreneur”.

A five-day training is scheduled to take place in March 2024 at the University of East Anglia.

Faculty members from Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, together with their British colleagues, plan to explore ways to integrate entrepreneurship and innovation into the academic process through active student engagement, including hackathons, startup competitions, problem-oriented learning, and other methodologies.

Upon the project’s completion, a joint team of trainers will be established, bringing together experts from Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University and the University of East Anglia. Their collective aim is to foster entrepreneurial competencies among university students.

The coordinator from Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University is Iryna Hryhoruk, Associate Professor at the Department of Management and Business Administration and Head of the Regional Startup Development Accelerator at PNU.
