This is important for people who have left their country and are looking for a reliable source of information where they can find out about opportunities to live, study, work, legalize, and so on. After all, the search for such information usually takes a long time, many unverified sources make a person, who has just moved or plans to move to a new country, uncertain.

The new mobile application is designed to help Ukrainians navigate after arriving in the Czech Republic and solve problems of employment, education, health care, housing, etc. Search queries for information of interest to the user can be found via the virtual assistant chat.

In fact, such a model of app can be used in different countries of the world with a large number of emigrants from Ukraine.

The application was developed by researchers from Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic, with the participation of the NGO «Ukrainian Initiative in the Czech Republic». At the invitation of the developers, researchers from the International Institute of Education, Culture and Diaspora Relations, Lviv Polytechnic National University, conducted testing and provided expert evaluation of this program. The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic is now launching the application and undertaking to administer it.
