Training module "Methods of Professional Development and Networking in the European Research Area: Digital Opportunities"
The course, with a total of 3 ECTS, is designed for PhD students and aims to help PhD students understand the benefits and opportunities of digital solutions for their professional development, as well as explore how success in the digital space expands networking opportunities and forms a balance between education, science, technology, and digitalisation that supports effective professional development. The experience of European science will provide Ukrainian PhD students with additional opportunities for professional realisation and successful career growth.
Lecturers – Prof. Tetiana STEPURA, PhD. Olha KORYTSKA.
It is planned to attract a foreign lecturer (Visiting Professor Dr Debra Hevenstone, Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland).
Results of the course:
PhD students will not only become acquainted with the key concepts of professional development and networking, but also apply the knowledge in practical situations, practising their own actions, decisions, and professional choices.
The course covers various digital learning tool formats to familiarise PhD students with modern technologies that shape education and professional networking in the European context. Special attention is paid to professional communication, digital skills and practices, problem-solving, ethical and legal aspects, self-marketing and personal branding, effective presentation skills, and working with social networks as fundamental components of preparing PhD students for a professional career from a European perspective.
Long-lasting effect:
In the future, the teaching of the course and its subsequent implementation in the curricula of PhD students as an elective discipline will contribute to deepening the understanding and acceptance of the values, standards and rules of professional activity in ERA; development of a worldview based on the study of the impact of digital technologies on professional communication (EU experience); mastering EU best practices in ensuring the sustainability of education through digital technologies for current and future generations of young scientists and teachers.

Training Module "Digital Tools for Knowledge Transfer and EU Practices in Open Science"
The course, with a total of 3 ECTS, is designed for PhD students and aims to help PhD students understand the benefits and opportunities of digital solutions and digital tools for knowledge transfer, as well as to explore EU best practices in open science as a product of digital transformation. It explores the integration of open access, FAIR principles, and open data into research workflows, highlighting their importance in the digital economy. Students will gain hands-on experience with digital tools and improve their ability to manage data and collaborate in an interdisciplinary and international environment.
Lecturers – Prof. Oleksandra MRYKHINA, Prof. Orest KOLESCHUK.
It is planned to attract foreign lecturers (young scientist Anastasiia Stepura, PhD, Chairman of the Council of Young Scientists of the Institute, researcher of the Institute of Polymers of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava).
Results of the course:
The course aims to strengthen participants’ understanding of how digital technologies support knowledge transfer within European university ecosystems, particularly in the context of doctoral education and open science. It focuses on the effective use of digital tools, data management practices, and scientometric approaches to enhance research collaboration, interdisciplinarity, and the convergence of open science and digital education.
Long-lasting effect:
In the perspective of teaching the course and its subsequent implementation in the curricula of PhD students as an elective discipline will contribute to deepening the understanding and acceptance of values, standards and rules of professional activity in ERA; mastering the concepts of digitalization of knowledge transfer in the ecosystems of European universities; understanding the multiplicative impact of knowledge transfer on improving the quality of European education through digitalization; for present and future generations of young scientists and teachers.
