On July 23, representatives of Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University took part in the first presentation meeting within the framework of the Teaching and Administration Network for Double Degree Education and Mobility — Ukraine and Germany (TANDEM-UA-DE) project.

This four-year project under the auspices of the DAAD creates a partnership network between the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden and six Ukrainian universities to develop a dual English-language program in digital technologies and management, academic mobility and training of new generation specialists.

In his speech, the Rector of the Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University Viktor Greshta thanked the partners for their support within the framework of the previous DILLUGIS project, which allowed a significant number of students and teachers of the Polytechnic to join academic mobility and improve their qualifications. He emphasized that TANDEM-UA-DE opens a new stage of cooperation and will be a step towards creating an interdisciplinary program in digital technologies and management, which provides for double degrees for students from Ukraine and Germany.
