“We received more applications than we expected. The number of applications proves that the Lysiak-Rudnytsky Programme is a timely and needed programme. Each project promotes the Ukrainian agenda in Europe and North America in a certain way. Although we have chosen eight projects, the selection process was highly competitive. It makes us optimistic about the future of the Programme” — notes Oleksandra Gaidai, programme manager of Academic Programmes of the Ukrainian Institute.
