Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University took part in the launch of the international Erasmus+ CBHE SEDWU project
In December 2025, representatives of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University joined the Kick-off meeting of the international Erasmus+ CBHE project «Scalable Electronic Document Workflow for Universities: Enhancing Efficiency, Autonomy and European Integration (SEDWU)» 101237141 — SEDWU — ERASMUSEDU-2025-CBHE, which is implemented with the support of the European Union. The project is aimed at creating and implementing a modern scalable electronic document workflow model for universities, which will ensure increased management efficiency, transparency of administrative procedures and strengthening the institutional autonomy of higher education institutions.
The meeting took place at the University of Bayreuth (Germany) with the participation of partners from Ukraine and the European Union Member States. The event program was rich and included intensive work in working and discussion formats, which made it possible to work out in detail the project concept, its goals, the structure of work packages and expected results, as well as to agree on common approaches to implementing the planned solutions into the internal management and educational processes of the partner universities.
Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University was represented in the project by the Vice-Rector for Scientific and Pedagogical Work and Prospective Development, the University Project Coordinator Ruslan Kulykovskyi, and the Head of the Academic Department Vitaliy Shyrokobokov. During the working sessions and discussions, they participated in the analysis of practical aspects of document management digitalization, in particular, the automation of educational and organizational processes, the optimization of interaction between structural units, and the reduction of the administrative burden on employees and students.
A significant amount of work was devoted to agreeing on the management and administrative mechanisms for the project implementation, including the distribution of roles and responsibilities between partners, the organization of effective internal communication, approaches to monitoring the implementation of tasks, and compliance with the requirements of the Erasmus+ program for substantive and financial reporting. This format of work allowed for the formation of a common vision for the further stages of project implementation and laid the foundation for further coordination of actions between partners.
The participation of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University in the SEDWU project is an important element of the university’s systemic digital transformation, aimed at modernizing management processes, improving the quality of educational and administrative services, and integrating the university into the European educational and digital space.
The results of joint work during the inaugural meeting will become the basis for further practical implementation of project solutions at the university!
