The objectives of the Programme are, among many other goals, to:
- offer young professionals (including scholars) a varied programme that includes professional skills workshops, knowledge-based modules, language courses, mentoring and traineeship opportunities to support them develop soft skills and most importantly to enhance employability;
- provide access to relevant networking opportunities;
- more horizontally, contribute to the process of further European integration of Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia;
- provide young professionals from Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia with an opportunity to embed their research in the context of European affairs from perspectives of various disciplines in a safe, academic, and technologically well-equipped environment;
- support people with fewer opportunities who are at a disadvantage compared to their peers because they face one or more of the seven exclusion factors, for instance: disability and health problems, cultural differences, economic obstacles, social obstacles or geographic obstacles, barriers referring to discrimination. Please get familiar with example definitions provided by the European Commission within the Erasmus+ Programme.
* Due to Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, which has resulted in unfavourable living and professional circumstances, all Ukrainian applicants will automatically be viewed as candidates having fewer opportunities. This point should be completed in a manner akin to the projects implemented in the framework of Erasmus+ programme.
