Projekt „Ukraine Nature Network” zaprasza do 31 października 2025 r. do składania jednostronicowych Wyrazów Zainteresowania (EoI) projektami dotyczącymi wpływu wojny na środowisko w Ukrainie, w tematyce edukacji ekologicznej, badań nad różnorodnością biologiczną, glebami, odpadami czy zarządzaniem energią.
Z inicjatywy dr Eweliny Idziak (Wydział Prawa i Ekonomii UKW), nasza uczelnia została już włączona do 2 sieci współpracy uniwersyteckiej. Mamy już pierwszą możliwość wzięcia udziału w projekcie. Co jest potrzebne na tym etapie? 1-stronicowa propozycja projektu w języku angielskim!
Uprzejmie prosimy o przesłanie już złożonych w tej akcji wniosków do ewelina.idziak@ukw.edu.pl w celu wsparcia naszych działań.

- Soil practices (e.g., agriculture),
- Waste handling,
- Energy management (including GHG accounting).
We invite you to share a one-page project summary, including institutional details, via the following link:

This event is organised by the Research and Transfer Centre “Sustainable Development and Climate Change Management” at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany. It is also supported by:
- The European School of Sustainability Science and Research (ESSSR),
- The Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP).
The event is also part of the Ukraine Nature Network project, funded by the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU):
Context and Event FocusThe Russian war against Ukraine has not only caused a severe humanitarian crisis but also significantly harmed the country’s natural environment, disrupting essential efforts to restore habitats, conserve species, manage protected areas, and address climate change. In this context, the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences has established the Ukraine Nature Network (UKN), a platform to connect researchers and institutions and disseminate information on environmental and nature conservation initiatives in Ukraine.
