Completed projects

GROMADA

European universities supporting legal and community capacities for Ukraine’s environmental recovery.

The project aims to develop cooperation between European universities to support public and legal capacity for environmental recovery in Ukraine. As the war has brought a huge toll to Ukraine’s natural heritage, the project foresees to foster civic engagement in environmental citizen science and its legal dimension. By analysing barriers and opportunities for community engagement in environmental action and peacebuilding, GROMADA will emphasise the legal aspects of environmental harm monitoring in war, with and by conflict-affected communities.

Baltics4UA

Supporting Ukraine through citizen engagement at Baltic Universities

Baltics4UA aims to enhance Baltic universities’ social responsibility through civic engagement actions to address the current Ukrainian humanitarian crisis in the Baltics. The project empowers higher education institutions (HEIs) to support active citizenship within formal education, while answering the need of upskilling academic staff, students and citizens in social action to support Ukrainian populations in the Baltics. The project foresees enhancing HEIs’ cooperation with the quadruple helix actors (policy, industry, society) in humanitarian crises.
