The British Council together with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has implemented a three-year program of all-Ukrainian academic mobility "SAM Ukraine". This program is one of the components of the EU-funded programme House of Europe and was implemented over the period 2020-2022. 

SAM Programme aims to enhance people-to-people exchange, to promote inter-regional academic cooperation between universities and cultural dialogue among young people through short-term academic mobility within Ukraine. We also aim to allow such mobility to be organised and formally recognised as a part of a student’s degree programme. 

The program of all-Ukrainian academic mobility "SAM Ukraine" was planned to be held during 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years. 

If you have any questions related to the program, please, contact us via email: ask@houseofeurope.org.ua
