Participating structural units of TU Dresden in the "Ukraine digital" project
Due to the war-related stay of Ukrainian guest scientists in the Dresden region, already existing cooperations with Ukrainian universities will be used and intensified within the framework of this project to offer the refugee scientists an opportunity to maintain their digital teaching offers.
The project was initiated by the International University Institute (IHI) Zittau and the Institute for Slavic Studies, the Chair for Business Informatics and Software Technology. The partner universities involved in the application and the participating professorships at TU Dresden have corresponding experience, which will be further developed in this DAAD project and implemented in joint digital teaching projects. The participating institutes each bring their own experiences from previous project contexts, which will be shared and reflected upon with all project partners during the funding period:
- International University Institute (IHI) Zittau
The International University Institute (IHI) Zittau has distinguished itself in virtual/hybrid teaching and practices these teaching and learning practices in its own teaching operations. Under the direction of Prof. Dr Thorsten Claus, the program goals of the DAAD are pursued and coordinated at TU Dresden.

At IHI Zittau, Prof. Dr Oksana Makovoz further developed teaching offers and can successfully maintain teaching activities at her home university TU Kharkiv. In addition to the further development and maintenance of digital teaching offers for her home university, Prof. Makovoz is successfully involved in the research and teaching activities of the economics-oriented professorships (Prof. Dr Stefan Eckert, Prof. Dr Thorsten Claus) of IHI Zittau and contributes her competences to the development of forms of cooperation in the module "Intercultural Communication" in the master's program International Management. Furthermore, language qualification courses are offered by Ms Tina Wächtler to facilitate the integration of refugee scientists and students.

- Institute of Slavic Studies
The Institute of Slavic Studies belongs to the area of Humanities and Social Sciences, whose potential area within the TUD's excellence strategy, Social Change, also includes digital change. This is expressed, among other things, in the newly established master's program, Digital Humanities. The institute maintains numerous cooperations in Slavic countries and has many years of international project experience. Prof. Dr Holger Kuße led a sub-project in the trilateral German-Russian-Ukrainian project "Aggression and Argumentation: Conflict Discourse and its Linguistic Negotiation" in 2016-19 and the Erasmus+ project "Enhancing Teaching Practice in Higher Education in RUSSIA and СHINA" (ENTEP)" in 2017-20, which was increasingly dedicated to digital teaching in the wake of the pandemic.
Dr Olha Ihnatyeva worked at the Institute of Slavic Studies and was already actively involved in teaching via a teaching position before the project began. She already had contacts with her home university in Cherkasy, which made integrating her into the project activities easy. Her research focuses on new foreign language teaching methods and political and religious discourse questions. Her methodological approaches were well-suited for the project's implementation and her further discourse linguistic interests for cooperation with the Chair of Slavic Language History and Linguistics at the Institute of Slavic Studies at the TU Dresden.
