Opportunities and results for Ukraine project CA 21107 “DIGI-net: Networking Digital Transformation Competences

          European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is a leading European intergovernmental program that has supported international cooperation between scientists and innovators from various fields since 1971. The goal of COST is to create an open scientific network to exchange knowledge, increase scientific potential and promote technological innovation in Europe and beyond. COST is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe program, which allows supporting hundreds of scientific projects and bringing together researchers from over 40 countries, including partner countries such as Ukraine.

          One of the COST projects is the CA 21107 “DIGI-net: Networking Digital Transformation Competences” action, which is aimed at developing digital competences. The DIGI-net network brings together experts from different countries, including Ukraine, to exchange knowledge, develop digital transformation strategies and support innovations in various fields. Ukraine has significant potential in the field of digital technologies, and participation in COST projects, in particular CA 21107, contributes to:

• Strengthening international cooperation of Ukrainian scientists and specialists in the field of digitalization;
• Access to advanced research and opportunities to participate in international consortia;
• Support for digital initiatives in education, business and public administration;
• Expanding academic and professional contacts through working groups and scientific events of DIGI-net.

          Within the framework of the COST CA 21107 project, Ukrainian scientists can: participate in working groups and case studies; receive grant support for short-term scientific missions (STSMs); attend international conferences and trainings; publish research results in cooperation with European colleagues.

          More information about participation opportunities and the latest news of the CA 21107 project can be found on the official website: https://digineteu.eu/.
