On June 8, 2026, the ACTI-K² Summer School was officially launched as part of the international project “Academic Cooperation and Teaching Initiative Kiel–Kherson” (ACTI-K²), supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Welcoming Participants from Kiel and Kherson
The opening meeting brought together students from Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University (KSAEU) and Kiel University (CAU). During the session, participants were welcomed to the programme and introduced to the Summer School’s objectives, schedule and upcoming activities.
A Platform for Academic Exchange and Collaboration
The Summer School provides a unique platform for academic exchange and international collaboration, fostering dialogue between students from Ukraine and Germany. Throughout the programme, participants will engage in lectures, interactive discussions, workshops and teamwork activities designed to strengthen their professional knowledge and intercultural competencies.

Looking Ahead
The programme combines lectures and practical work in statistics, programming with R and data analysis, including the use of AI tools. Team projects and examples from insurance, energy and agriculture connect these methods with practical questions. We wish all participants a productive, inspiring and memorable Summer School experience!
