• Faculty Development Program will assist NTUU “KPI” faculty members in enhancing their ability to design and deliver highly effective undergraduate, master and PDS SD-based courses and curriculum, conduct research using international practices.
• SD Research & Knowledge Dissemination Program will increase faculty members’ accessibility to cutting edge learning and teaching resources and enhanced their capacity to conduct research and develop high quality textbooks and other publications on SD. Original publications developed within this component will include Ukrainian specific textbooks, case-studies, various teaching tools. More important than the creation and distribution of materials and information, a capacity and tradition of research based on international practices and quality standards will be established within the NTUU “KPI” SD educational program
