The European Union that for a long time was a benchmark of regional integration is experiencing now both external and internal challenges. These threats are partially connected with Ukraine that is situated at the fault line between Western and Orthodox civilizations. Thus, the main goal of the current JM Module is initiating in West Ukrainian National University (WUNU) the institutional background to promote the EU didactic, research, and practical experience in the field of regional integration. 3 main specific objectives are: 1. Implementation of the new academic course “European and Global Regional Integration” (REFRAG-course) into the Master program of West Ukrainian National University (5 ECTS) in order to develop students’ competencies in the field of regional integration using EU experience. It is expected to enroll minimum 30 students per each of 3 project years. 2. Launching a set of training courses “European Regionalism: practical implication” (REFRAG-training) in order to expand the awareness of local economic and political actors of the risks and opportunities of the contemporary regional world with the accent on the EU-issues. The seminars will be accompanied with round-tables and conference to attract the interest toward the project issue in the local community. It is expected to enroll minimum 80 trainees during 3 project years. 3. Setting up an e-platform (REFRAG-online) for the distance teaching of the REFRAG-course and intensive REFRAG-training.
