The list of winning projects recommended by authoritative European experts for further funding included Jean Monet’s module on the topic “Reformatting the environmental, energy, economic and financial spheres of Ukraine in the European integration conditions”, performed by a team of scientists from the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic”. The author team included active, persistent and proactive young scientists of the Educational and Research Institute of Finance, Economics, Management and Law, who for three years conscientiously were working on the successful implementation of Jean Monnet’s project: “Challenges of energy efficiency: Ukraine’s cooperation with the EU” and have experience and significant assets in this area.
According to the authors of the winning project, the chosen topic is extremely important, since the issues of borrowing European experience in ecological development, ensuring an adequate level of energy security, transformational changes in the European green economy and finance are becoming relevant for a young European state on the path of European integration.
The head of the module – Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Economics, Entrepreneurship and Marketing of the Poltava Polytechnic Kseniia Chychulina, project coordinator, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Economics, Entrepreneurship and Marketing Inna Miniailenko, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor Vitaliia Skryl and Candidate of Technical Sciences Nataliia Maksiuta shared their own scientific developments in the field of energy efficiency.
The goal of the Jean Monet module “Reformatting the environmental, energy, economic and financial spheres of Ukraine in the European integration conditions” was to acquaint the target group of bachelor’s students majoring in “Ecology”, “Entrepreneurship, trade and stock exchange activity”, “Finance, banking and taxation” of the university with modern European guidelines for the comprehensive development of the ecological, energy, economic and financial spheres of our country. In accordance with the set goal, the module provides a comprehensive study of the best European practices of the EU’s environmental policy based on Programs of changes in the field of environmental protection and Environmental Directives, European approaches to energy saving and European practices of innovative development of the economic and financial system.
