The cooperation between IHI Zittau and TU Kharkiv has intensified considerably: The International Institute is the banner holder for TUD projects within the DAAD program "Ukraine digital" for the third time in a row. We have now also been successful in acquiring ERASMUS funds to enable guest stays by academics from our partner institution in Kharkiv and to lay the foundation for stays of Ukrainian students as part of the planned double degree in International Management.

A new level of academic integration has now been reached: Prof. Claus, Director of IHI Zittau and Chair of Production Management and Information Technology, was invited by the Ukrainian partners to participate as an expert in the accreditation process for the Master's programme "Management of Organizations and Administration" led by Prof. Oksana Makovoz. At the meeting of the state accreditation commission, Oliver Tettenborn, Academic Assistant to the Director, was able to present the existing cooperation and joint courses (see screenshot of the commission meeting). Zittau and Kharkiv are thus directly and visibly linked academically.
