About

The KIU competence network is a four-year DAAD-funded project to strengthen Ukraine-related research, teaching, networking and transfer activities. The competence network, initiated and led by the European University Viadrina, includes the ZOiS, the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Wissenschaftskolleg Berlin.

The project aims at establishing a visible center of Ukraine-related teaching and research. Based on close scientific cooperation in the German capital region and in an international framework, innovative research, new academic courses and a successful transfer of Ukraine-related knowledge in and between science, politics, business and society will be ensured.
