On June 5-6, the XIX meeting of the Consortium of Ukrainian Universities and the University of Warsaw took place. At this time, discussion of activity plans of the Consortium was held at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv. The delegation of the Ostroh Academy that participated in the event consisted of the Rector of the National University of Ostroh Academy, Doctor of Psychology, Professor Ihor Pasichnyk, the Vice-rector for Scientific and Pedagogical work, Doctor of Philosophy, Associate Professor Dmytro Shevchuk, the Head of the Scientific Council Petro Kraliuk, and the Dean of the Faculty of Political Studies and Information Management, PhD in State Management, Associate Professor Vitalii Lebediuk.

During the sessions of the consortium, information on the implementation of the decisions of the XVIII meeting protocol and report on the chairmanship of Sumy State University were presented. Also, the question of the possibility of establishing a public organization and the establishment of cooperation within the framework of internal and foreign academic mobility were considered. There was also a presentation of joint scientific and academic projects implemented by the member universities of the consortium.

During their reports, the representatives of the Ostroh Academy presente information on the 5th Summer School for students of the “Eastern Studies” program, which is held annually at the National University of Ostroh Academy. Also, they suggest subjects for a joint statement of the universities of the Consortium in order to participate in an open competition for international grant projects. In particular, at the initiative of the rector of the NUOA prof. Ihor Pasichnyk, a topic "Ukrainians and Poles: the Millennium of History" was offered. A scientific project with such title can unite all the member universities of the Consortium. Moreover, this topic is extremely relevant today, taking into account a need to work out the complex issues of Ukrainian-Polish history and an attempt to create a narrative of a common history in the context of the development of European civilization. The project proposed by the Ostroh Academy will focus on several areas. In particular, it includes joint historiographical research, processing of historical sources, writing of common monographs and popularization of scientific research in the field of Ukrainian-Polish history.
