On January 1, 2025, the Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economics of SUTE has been successfully approved for the participation and has started taking part in the Project by the Interreg Vl-A NEXT Hungary Slovakia Romania Ukraine 2021-2027 Program co-funded European Union.

At the initiative of the Institute's Director, Professor Anatolii Vdovichen, and Deputy Director for Scientific and Methodological Work, International Relations and Innovative Development, Professor Vasyl Kyfyak, an Agreement was signed to implement the project under the Interreg NEXT project with the leading partner, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava (Suceava, Romania). Identifier of the Project implemented by the CHITE SUTE: HUSKROUA/23/RS/3.1/043, Project Acronym: LINKSROUACBE, title: “Links between theory and practice in cross-border education in Romania and Ukraine”.

The Interreg cross-border programs, implemented under the European Union's Cohesion Policy, are important tools for balanced and integrated territorial development. The program plays a crucial role in strengthening regional and urban cooperation and the development of border areas. The Interreg Vl-A NEXT Hungary Slovakia Romania Ukraine 2021-2027 program is implemented under the Cohesion Policy within the framework of the European Union's financial program for 2021-2027 under the Neighborhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI), the main financial instrument for the EU's external actions, established by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No.2021/947 (NDICI Implementing Regulation) and implemented by Common Provisions Regulation (CPR) No.2021/1060 of the European Parliament and by Interreg Regulation (EU) No. 2021/1059 of the European Parliament.

The main goal of the Project implemented by CHITE SUTE is to expand access to new innovative business technologies for the population of the Chernivtsi region, improve the system of higher economic education through cross-border cooperation and establish harmonious neighborly relations with EU countries. The Project also envisages the adaptation of the study programs of CHITE SUTE as the flagman of economic education in Bukovyna to the dynamic requirements of the current labor market and the digital economy. The integration of advanced technologies will ensure the synthesis of online educational platforms that will provide access to innovative educational resources adapted to the requirements of the modern labor market. The implementation of the Project will provide students from the border regions of Ukraine and Romania with equal access to modern, relevant, practical economic knowledge, which will contribute to their competitiveness in the labor market. The partnership of educational institutions of both countries, introduced by the Project, will also contribute to a coordinated approach to solving regional business personnel problems.

The Project will include relevant roundtables, scientific and practical conferences, research, development of relevant training programs, and creation of a digital laboratory for business process automation.

The Project will involve a wide range of public institutions and regional business representatives in cooperation. This will not only help achieve short-term results in the form of implemented initiatives and activities, but also ensure long-term achievements in the economic development of the Chernivtsi region.

CHITE SUTE is sincerely grateful to all partners for their cooperation and support!
