Prosjektkatalog

The University of Bergen in Norway (UiB) and two Ukrainian institutions-- National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (NaUKMA) and Ivan Franko Lviv National University (LNU)--are collaborating in a project called "Extend the Learning of Economics with Dynamic Modeling." Funded by the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education and the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, the project's primary educational purpose is building dynamic modeling capacity at NaUKMA and LNU.

The project leaders' strategy is three-fold: train the Ukrainian trainers at UiB, train on-site in Ukraine, and provide online training to sustain the collaboration in the years ahead. During the four-year project, 44 students and 6 early-career professors from NaUKMA and LNU will develop system dynamics modeling skills in Bergen, and gain additional skills to train their colleagues when they return to Ukraine. Traditional on-site classroom courses in system dynamics will also be developed supplemented by two online courses in economic dynamics.

Project leaders also have plans to extend their reach beyond the university classrooms, with seminars and workshops planned for economists at the National Bank of Ukraine, plus workshops, conferences, and student 'science fairs' for secondary school teachers and students in Kyiv and Lviv. The project leaders expect their diverse initiatives to culminate in double-degree programs and a collaborative "Center of Excellence" in Kyiv, devoted to dynamic modeling of economic systems. The center would function as a collaborative enterprise involving the Finance Department at NaUKMA, the System Dynamics Group at UiB, and the Mathematics Department at LNU.
