Solidarity with the Ukraine
For #Europe For #Peace #StandWithUkraine
We are dismayed by the developments in #Ukraine and express our #Solidarity with Ukraine and at the same time with our Russian partners who speak out against the Russian attack on Ukraine!
We share Bayhost’s conviction that the Russian attack on Ukraine damages the successful and friendly cooperation with partner institutions in both Ukraine and Russia that has grown over many years. Our thoughts are with our Ukrainian academic partners, Ukrainian students and their families.
OTH Amberg-Weiden has maintained intensive cooperation with three Ukrainian universities for many years - the National Yuri Fedkovych University in Czernowitz, the National Technical University "Kiev Polytechnic Institute Ihor Sikorskyj" in Kiev and the KROK University in Kiev. Since November 2020, it has been part of the Erasmus KA2 project Interadis (International Students Adaptation and Integration) – alongside eight Ukrainian universities as well as one Italian, one Lithuanian and one Dutch university.
At the beginning of February, a hybrid project week for international students took place, in which Professor Andrii Verstiak and the DAAD scholarship holders Anna Cheredaryk and Anastasiia Olinyk from the Ukrainian University of Chernivtsi also participated. The study visit as part of the Interadis project, which was supposed to offer around 35 Ukrainian university members a diverse programme in Amberg and Weiden, had to be cancelled due to current events.
The exchange and projects with Ukrainian partner universities of the OTH Amberg-Weiden are managed by KOMO (with the support of the International Office)
