KNUTD – MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN LEAGUE OF INSTITUTES OF THE ARTS (ELIA)

In 2024, the Faculty of Design at Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design (KNUTD) became a member of the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA).

ELIA is a leading multidisciplinary European network in the field of higher arts education and research. Bringing together approximately 290 members across 54 countries, ELIA represents the interests of over 350,000 students at arts institutions. It serves as a global knowledge community for mutual learning, international cooperation, and advocacy. ELIA acts as a central hub for collaboration among international educators, leaders, staff, and students. Its offerings encompass a wide range of opportunities – from large-scale events and conferences to online seminars, discussions, working groups, and thematic hubs, as well as European project coordination and partner matchmaking.

As part of its engagement with ELIA, the KNUTD Faculty of Design also joined the UAx Platform, which was officially launched by ELIA in November 2022 with financial support from the Abakanowicz Arts and Culture Charitable Foundation (AACCF). To strengthen the resilience of Ukrainian arts education institutions, the "Sister School Network" was implemented – an international partnership program connecting arts institutions in Ukraine with ELIA member institutions across Europe. The primary goal of the UAx Platform is to provide assistance during times of crisis and recovery by supporting arts students through scholarships, mutual mentorship, knowledge exchange, and capacity building.

In 2025 and 2026, students from KNUTD became recipients of the UAx Abakanowicz Fellowship, receiving a scholarship and a year of mentorship from international professors.
