International cooperation is one of the main directions of Karazin University's activities. Participation in the international consortium of universities CUMAI will allow us to adopt experience and attract funding from the United States for the development of higher education institutions, the creation of a virtual entrepreneurship development center, the development of risk management standards, and assistance in the reintegration of war veterans.

On April 8, 2024, a meeting took place at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine with Mark Sigel, a staff member of the University of California, San Diego, and representatives of 8 Ukrainian HEIs participating in the consortium between Ukrainian and Moldovan universities with the University of California, San Diego (CUMAI).

From Karazin University, the meeting was attended by Volodymyr Rodchenko, Director of the School of Business, and Yulia Kvіtka, Associate Professor of the School of Business responsible for international cooperation.

During the meeting, issues related to supporting the activities of the newly created consortium of universities (CUMAI) were discussed, including the transformation of higher education following the example of the United States, assistance to the population and veterans with PTSD, the development of business education, and cultural and technological cooperation.

Agreements were reached on the widest possible involvement of the American academic, grant, and business communities in project initiatives (CUMAI). We continue our joint work!
