Within the framework of this grant, our teachers will have the opportunity to visit Cardiff to establish cooperation in scientific and educational activities, and students will take part in a summer school, where, in addition to communicating on scientific topics, they will take an English language course and attend various cultural and social events. An intensive English language program from Cardiff University specialists is also provided for our teachers, which will allow them to communicate more confidently in an international academic environment and teach courses in English more effectively. In addition, Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University plans to purchase licensed software – Matlab and Ansys Granta – to support the educational process, scientific research and further development of cooperation between our universities.

The funding received will contribute to the further development and strengthening of the existing partnership between Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University and Cardiff University, which was launched within the framework of the Twinning initiative, coordinated by Cormack Consultancy Group (CCG).

We express our sincere gratitude to our British partners for such important support of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University and solidarity with Ukraine in such a difficult time for our country!
