Higher education students of Poltava State Agrarian University, who are participating in the international academic mobility programme within the UniClaD project «Enhancing capacity of universities to initiate and to participate in clusters development on innovation and sustainability principles» are actively integrating into the academic environment of Kauno Kolegija (Lithuania).

Our students joined the celebration of the start of the new academic year on 2 September 2024. The festival, organised by Kauno kolegija, was a bright start to their stay in Lithuania. Concerts, intellectual games and delicious food created a friendly atmosphere and made students feel like full members of the student community. 

On 5 September, students organised a tasting of craft cheeses made from goat's milk produced by the UniClaD project partners, Dobrokraft (Ukraine). The event helped to deepen students' knowledge and practical skills. This event became a platform for sharing experiences and conducting research. Yulia Karban, a PhD student at the Faculty of Animal Production and Food Technologies of the PSAU, gave a thorough presentation about the specific features of Ukrainian production of hard and soft goat cheeses for students of the Food Technology speciality and teachers of Kauno kolegia. The students took part in a questionnaire to evaluate the organoleptic characteristics of the cheeses after the tasting.

The international project UniClaD, which includes academic mobility, aims to increase the capacity of universities to initiate clusters and participate in their development on the principles of innovation and sustainability. The participation of PSAU students in this project is an important contribution to the development of international cooperation in the field of education and science.

Student mobility of students from Comrat State University to the University of Lithuania within the UniClad project

On August 27, 2024, a meeting was held at Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution (Kaunas, Lithuania) with participants of the student academic mobility program within the framework of the international UniClaD project, aimed at "Enhancing the ability of universities to initiate and participate in the development of clusters based on innovation and continuity."

The selection of mobility participants was conducted according to all the rules of the CSU Regulation on the mobility of students and faculty. Six students from Comrat State University from the Faculties of Agrarian Technology and Economics traveled to Lithuania:

• Alexander KOLISH — student of group AIM-22, Faculty of Agrarian Technology;
• Valentin LEBEDEV — student of group AIM-22, Faculty of Agrarian Technology;
• Inessa VLAH — student of group AIM-22, Faculty of Agrarian Technology;
• Tatiana RADOVA — student of group AA-23, Faculty of Agrarian Technology;
• Irina CHESKOVA — student of group EF-22, Faculty of Economics;
• Viktoria GERMEK-CHOLAK — student of group ETU-23, Faculty of Economics.

The students will be studying and deepening their knowledge in their respective fields from August 26 to September 22. They will become acquainted with the experience of a European university by attending lectures and practical classes with Lithuanian instructors, improving their English language skills, and gaining unique insights into the history and culture of Lithuania. This is an excellent opportunity to make new acquaintances and expand professional contacts.

The administration of Comrat State University highly values the opportunity for students to participate in academic mobility in Lithuania. We express our sincere gratitude to the project coordinator Vytautė GIEDRAITIENĖ and Dean Giedrius GGECEVICIUS for the warm reception and care of our students. We look forward to continued fruitful cooperation.
