SUNRISE aims to:
- build war-resistant and resilient learning infrastructure;
- support the war resilience and post-war recovery through curriculum contents reflecting the emerging challenges;
- ensure future academic competitiveness and research innovation.
The following activities are you going to implement:
- Development of online ICT services for PhD training, leveraging on in-hand post-disaster experiences of the relevant EU partners – University of Camerino and University of Zagreb;
- Co-development of research databases and curricula on post-war recovery & resilience, PhD (co-)supervision and expert advising/training support on emerging topics;
- Development of resilience guidelines for the post-war recovery and enhancement of academic activities in environmental research at partner campuses in Ukraine.
SUNRISE implementation will be supported by a number of events, such as training sessions for staff (training of trainers) and students, including an international summer school in Tartu (jointly with the EU HORIZON project LAND), and a final conference at the University of Camerino.
SUNRISE will develop several publications, such as strategies and guidelines for post-war recovery for partner universities in Ukraine, guidelines for setting up living labs; in addition it will support and encourage publications based on the research outputs of PhD students involved to the doctoral school training in Ukraine.
