Strategic partnership between Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University and Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts

The international educational project EuroPIM Virtual Master School Ukraine (EU-ViMUk) was completed in June 2025. It was implemented with the support of the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD and the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts (FH Dortmund). The coordinator of the cooperation was Professor Emeritus of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University, Director of the IDiAL Institute FH Dortmund – Carsten Wolf. 

The project was aimed at forming digital communities of participants in German and Ukrainian higher education, as well as the development and digitalization of Ukrainian higher education institutions. 

The EuroPIM Virtual Master School Ukraine project was attended by teachers and students of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University, Kyiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, and Western Ukrainian National University. 

Teachers of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University developed and integrated electronic learning materials for 20 master’s courses into the Digital Education Ecosystem (DEE) of FH Dortmund and into the distance learning system of NU «Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic» Moodle.

The new DAAD project Project and Innovation Management for Ukraine (UA4PIM) will aim to expand cooperation between FH Dortmund and Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University with an emphasis on new programs aimed at digitalization and sustainable development.
