This document presents the results of Deliverable 2.1 of the Erasmus+ ISDEGO project (Implementation of Sustainable urban Development Goals in transport bachelor degree). It offers evidence-based recommendations for updating bachelor-level programs in transport and urban development at Ukrainian universities. The recommendations are grounded in a triangulated methodology combining international policy analysis, institutional self-assessment, and stakeholder engagement, including four regional workshops conducted in April 2025. The proposed competence framework addresses emerging global trends such as sustainability, digitalization, urbanization, and labor market transformation. These recommendations will guide the design of new modules and teaching materials in follow-up project tasks and support Ukraine’s alignment with EU educational and mobility standards..

The evaluating existing bachelor's programs, future demand and development of recommendations for UA&MD universities.

Report presents the results of a comprehensive evaluation of existing bachelor's programs in Ukraine and Moldova in the field of transport and urban development. The work included an in-depth review of 28 international strategic and educational documents (e.g. EQF, OECD Learning Compass 2030, World Bank reports), an analysis of global trends, and the identification of future demands for graduate competences. Based on the findings and feedback from stakeholder workshops, recommendations were developed for the integration of new competences, topics, and teaching formats into bachelor’s curricula. The proposed innovations aim to foster key 21st-century skills such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy, enhancing the employability of future graduates in alignment with EU standards.

The agreements on cultural and scientific cooperation between universities have been signed by all consortium members. This will contribute to continuing the partnership with EU countries and to transferring and disseminating EU policy in the field of higher education at universities in Ukraine and Moldova.
The milestone has been successfully achieved. A total of 24 mandatory cooperation agreements have been signed, along with 14 additional agreements between Ukrainian and Moldovan universities.

The communication strategy was developed in accordance with the Grant Agreement. The ISDEGO project’s communication strategy is a key tool for ensuring public visibility, informing stakeholders, and disseminating project results. It will support the project’s objectives through a structured use of online channels (website, social media, electronic newsletters) and offline activities (conferences, seminars, and partner meetings). This strategy will enable the project to effectively communicate its goals, achievements, and innovations to a broad audience, foster international cooperation, and ensure the sustainability of its results beyond the funding period.

The First ISDEGO seminar was held. The goal is to transfer the European experience in implementing the principles of SDG11 in learning trajectories as well as to include in the bachelor’s curricula the future demand (according to local/national/international trends). The European experience was presented. 12 reports from European lecturers were presented during the workshop.

During the Kick-off meeting, the Regulations on the Appointment of Project Consortium Members were discussed and formed, describing the decision-making process.
