The Rector of the National University of Ostroh Academy, Doctor of Science (Psychology), Full professor Eduard Balashov, has successfully completed the 'Leadership for Sustainable Reconstruction of Ukraine' course, a collaborative initiative between Ostroh Academy and the prestigious Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. This marks a significant step towards the global advancement of education and sustainability.
The programme lasted from September 24 to December 12. It brought together leaders from various fields to discuss strategies for the country's sustainable development and recovery.
During the course, the participants delved into innovative approaches to community development, infrastructure rehabilitation, and creating a healthy and sustainable environment for living and working. The programme, which included lectures, analytical discussions, and practical assignments from leading experts, was designed to equip the participants with the necessary tools to contribute to Ukraine's sustainable development and recovery.
For Ostroh Academy, which has always been a centre of education and innovative ideas, the participation of its rector not only raises the prestige of the university at the international level but also promotes the implementation of best management practices in the educational institution.
"This course was not only an opportunity for me to acquire new knowledge and skills but also to look at the processes of Ukraine's recovery through global experience. Today, more than ever, it is essential to understand that education and science play a crucial role in rebuilding our country. Participation in the programme inspired me to implement modern approaches to university management based on sustainability, innovation and partnership. The National University of Ostroh Academy has always been a centre of progressive ideas, and our mission is to educate a new generation of leaders who can work for the development of Ukraine. The experience gained during the course will help us strengthen the university's position as the country's intellectual and educational centre.
This step also opens up new prospects for further cooperation between the National University of Ostroh Academy and Harvard University. The exchange of practices, educational projects, and research initiatives will become the basis for the joint development and integration of Ukrainian education into the academic area.
We congratulate the Rector on his next step in professional development and wish him to successfully implement the acquired knowledge and skills in his future activities!
