The Jean Monnet module "Promoting European Skills and Approaches to Sustainable Bioeconomy in the Context of Modern Challenges in Ukraine" (PESAB) is based on the successful implementation of international research and educational grants and projects under the leadership of the Dean of the Faculty of Management and Business Design, Professor Oleksandra OLSHANSKA, and through the launched interdisciplinary educational program "Bioeconomy" for the first (bachelor's) level of higher education of the Department of Smart Economics.
PESAB Project Coordinator, Head of the Department of Smart Economics, Professor Anna OLESHKO presented the project and introduced the project team: Doctor of Economics, Professor Olshanska O.V., Doctor of Engineering, Professor Mokrousova O.R., Doctor of Economics, Associate Professor Bebko S.V, PhD, Associate Professor Budiakova O.Y., who will implement the project in 2023-2026. The project involves the creation of a module that provides bachelor's and master's students with additional skills in sustainable bioeconomy. The dissemination of EU best practices in the field of sustainable bioeconomy will be carried out through the introduction of new courses for students, trainings for teachers, conferences, workshops, round tables, and scientific and practical seminars. This will allow developing interdisciplinary skills among students, pupils, teachers and the public, using the positive experience of the EU to ensure the implementation of bioenergy production and overcome the food crisis in the face of acute challenges for Ukraine.
Taking into account military challenges, teaching and dissemination of European knowledge on sustainable bioeconomy and its popularization among teachers, scientists, young researchers, students, pupils and representatives of business, NGOs and local authorities will help to form future competent personnel capable of restoring the country in the future post-war period and developing production, trade, science and research in the European space.
